His efforts only intensify when he learns that Flora is expecting. But something doesnt feel right to Flora: she doesnt feel at home.Meanwhile, Grace (to whom Wilfred was very briefly married before he met Flora) has fled Narberth for London, trying to escape what has happened to her and the secret she carries because of it. But secrets are not so easily escaped-and Graces will affect Wilfred and Flora, too.A sophisticated comedy of manners, The World Is a Wedding captures life in a small town in Wales and explores the complexities of marriage, motherhood, and masculinity and femininity with equal wit and insight.Sometimes its just really nice to find a book that is well-written, straightforward and tells a relatively simple story . . . There are touches of Dylan Thomas in the villagers characters, with their whispered gossip and nightly drunkenness, but theyre not a bad lot. Naturally, theres some tragedy and some joy, and good things that come out of bad situations. Thoroughly enjoyable.-The Irish TimesThe book is humorous throughout, often hilariously funny.-Star Tribune\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51929709543712,"sku":"NEW1609452674","price":13.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-world-is-a-wedding-1609452674","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
