Wedding in December B 英文原版

　　At an inn in the Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts,
seven former schoolmates gather for a wedding. Nora, the owner of
the inn, has recently had to reinvent her life following the death
of her husband. Avery, who still hears echoes from a horrific event
at Kidd Academy twenty-six years ago, has made a life for himself
in Toronto with his wife and two sons. Agnes, now a history teacher
at Kidd is a woman who longs to tell a secret she cannot reveal to
the others, a secret that would stun them all. Bridget, the mother
of a fifteen-year-old boy, has agreed to marry Bill, an old high
school lover whom she has recently remet, despite uncertainties
about her health and future. Indeed, it is Bill who passionately
wants this wedding and who has brought everyone together for an
astonishing weekend of revelation and recrimination, forgiveness
and redemption. This is Anita Shreve’s most ambitious and moving
novel to date, probing into human motivation with extraordinary
grace and skill.

　　Anita Shreve is the author of eleven other novels including
the international bestsellers The Pilot’s Wife, a selection of
Oprah’s Book Club, and The Weight of Water, shortlisted for the
Orange Prize.
