Caught Reading: A Wedding in December by Anita Shreve

This slow starting novel turns into an emotional reunion story with a real twist. A group of seven high school friends reunite after 27 years for the wedding of two classmates. The wedding is held at Nora's inn in the Berkshires where each character has their own story of regrets, missed opportunities, and secrets. A tragic death lurks behind the interactions of the characters and there is also a parallel story-within-the story written by Agnes who has her own issues. Anita Shreve writes with elegance and melancholy.
