A Wedding in December

At an inn in the Berkshire Mountains, seven former schoolmates gather to celebrate a wedding—a reunion that becomes the occasion of astonishing revelations as the friends collectively recall a long-ago night that indelibly marked each of their lives. Bridget, who is facing uncertainties about her health, is marrying Bill, her former high school lover, after a chance encounter brought them together again. Nora, the owner of the inn, hosts the reunion for the group, which was once close but was scattered by a tragedy—the loss of their friend Stephen—that occurred just before graduation. A snowstorm strands the group, and emotions run high as the characters reflect on the choices and chances that have transformed them, and delve for the first time into what really happened the night that changed all their lives. The novel acutely probes the mysteries of the human heart and the endless allure of paths not taken.
