5.0 out of 5 stars A gripping, involving and vivid read, 17 Jun 2006
By Sophie Masson (Armidale, New South Wales Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I've enjoyed all Adele Geras' adult novels(the other two are Facing the Light and Hester's Story) but this is my top favourite. It's a story that enthrals from the very first chapter, when we're led into the lives of the (about to be combined) Gratrix and Whittaker/Ashton families. They're about to be combined because of the impending wedding of Zannah Ford(nee gratrix) and Adrian Whittaker--but actually there's a lot more that links them than that. There's a secret which is about to be revealed and which ticks away like an unexploded bomb under the increasingly elaborate and frenzied preparations for the 'big wedding.' And there are unresolved things from the past which loom larger and larger even in the unclouded horizon that is Zannah's dream for her big day..Will there be a catastrophe? is there any hope to be salvaged? will it all end happily?
There are many pleasures in this wonderfully warm and entertaining novel--the subtle, deep exploration of character, a story superlatively well told, and the rich, fun details of planning that big wedding. Minor as well as major characters are really well depicted; you get a real sense of family and how weddings brings often very disparate people together--not necessarily in mutual understanding.
It's a totally involving, gripping, and vivid read and is very highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars A summer wedding, 11 Jun 2006
Adele Geras, better known for her novels for children and young people, has, in this third novel for adults, explored the complexities of love and marriage through the lives of two families as they prepare for the Big Day. But from the first meeting between the two families, nothing goes according to plan. This novel has everything: drama, conflict and shifts of allegiance. Whilst there are few real surprises, the story is peopled with well-rounded characeters facing real-life problems. Also reflecting life, not all loose ends are tied, but there is as satisfactory conclusion. This is a delightful, heart-warming story.

5.0 out of 5 stars I felt related to the Gratrix family - and wanted to be., 7 Dec 2007
This review is from: Made In Heaven (Paperback)
Geras has an amazing creativity. She invents and executes the most original plots which she fleshes out with characters so convincing that one feels that one knows them. This is almost two stories in one novel, the sub-plot is so powerful, and Geras interweaves them with brilliance. I've read all of her novels, loved them all - this surpasses the others easily. I was on tenterhooks from half-way through, willing her to end the novel as I wished, fearful that she wouldn't. A cosummate storyteller. I finished this a few hours ago and already I miss the characters who became a part of my life for a few days.
