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. Written with the fluent narrative artistry that distinguishes all of Anita Shreve's bestselling novels, A Wedding in December acutely probes the mysteries of the human heart and the endless allure of paths not taken.

Anita Shreve is a gifted author and I looked forward to reading this story. As with other reviews here, I found A Wedding in December entertaining, with a wedding being the event that brings old high school friends together. The fact that one of them is missing due to a premature death kept me intrigued. But how he died and how his death impacts on the wedding attendees wasn't enough to satisfy me in the end. Still, having said that, I wouldn't hesitate to read another one of Anita Shreve's novels. I especially liked The Pilot's Wife.
