Book Description | A lively and uncommonly wise novel about an unexpected wedding guest and the surprising people who help us start over. It's a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the Grand Cornwall Inn in a green dress and gold high-heeled shoes, not a bag in sight, alone. Everyone in the lobby immediately mistakes her for one of the wedding guests, but she's actually the only guest in Cornwall who isn't here for the big event. Phoebe is here because she's been dreaming of coming here for years - she was hoping to shuck oysters and take the sunset sails with her husband, but now she's here without him, a mess, and determined to have one last lavish splurge on herself. Meanwhile, the bride has accounted for every detail and every possible disaster the weekend could bring except, well, Phoebe and Phoebe's plan - which makes it all the more surprising when the two women can't stop trusting each other.” |
