Cheerful Weather for the Wedding

Cheerful Weather for the Wedding - Julia Strachey, Frances Partridge

Hmm, I picked this up by chance, without knowing much about it. It is the story of a wedding party who receive a guest - a young man who still harbors feelings for the bride.

So. amidst the stress of getting the family ready for the wedding - including a couple of boisterous schoolboys - the story tries to focus on the will-they-won't-they tension between the guest and the bride...and it this question that just manages to keep the story going.

 

It's an easy read for a lazy afternoon but neither that cheerful or gripping.
