Join Branch Librarian Aimee Sixt for a discussion of The Wedding People by Alison Espach

A wise and tenderly funny novel, The Wedding People follows Phoebe Stone, who arrives alone and bagless at a lavish wedding weekend in Newport, Rhode Island, mistaken for a guest despite having no connection to the event. At rock bottom and newly without the husband she once imagined traveling with, Phoebe has come to the grand Cornwall Inn for a final, self-indulgent escape, only to form an unexpected bond with the meticulously prepared bride. By turns absurd and deeply moving, Alison Espach’s novel explores grief, reinvention, and the surprising chance encounters that can quietly redirect a life. 367 pages
