Adam and Rachel are getting married at last. Childhood sweethearts whose lives and families have been intertwined for years; theirs is set to be the wedding of the year.

Critic reviews

"A subtle, witty and acutely observed study of a narrow but very recognisable world" ( Observer)

"An impressive debut...the struggle to achieve true adulthood, the loss of innocence and the consequences of adapting to a culture that levies certain expectations on its members, are all cleverly worked into a poised text" ( Sunday Times)
