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.

Critic reviews

"A very enjoyable novel...beautifully and imaginatively written."—Washington Post
"A Wedding in December showcases an author at one with her métier, indeed one who has rarely been in better form than in this tasteful and polished novel."—Miami Herald
"The reader may be surprised at how quickly the pages turn."—Nahal Toosi, Newsday
"Engrossing...An excellent novel about new beginnings threatened by old memories that ultimately reveal uncomfortable secrets from the past...By book's end, lives are drastically changed, and Shreve has made readers care that they have."—Fort Worth Star-Telegram

This didn't live up to expectations. Shreve is capable of much better. The characters aren't well developed, and the story within a story doesn't work well. Don't waste your book credit.

The Big Chill All Over Again

I plugged through till the end but what a boring audio read … and confusing. I really enjoyed “a change in altitude” so tried this one. What a disappointment!!!

Painful read!

I was disappointed in this latest book from Shreve, an author whose earlier books I have loved. As an earlier reviewers said, it's The Big Chill all over. I am sure there are moral lessons here, including the redeeming grace of love, but this is not a book for cynics or for anyone wanting more than a trite romance novel disguised as literature.

Lukewarm at best

Not one of Shreve's best. She is such an excellant author but this was not very satifiying.

Luke-warm read.

I would highly recommend this audiobook for anyone looking for a charming (although predictable) listen.

Very enjoyable
