Sinossi
È una bellissima giornata a Newport, Rhode Island, quando Phoebe Stone arriva, da sola, al grand hotel Cornwall Inn sfoggiando un elegante vestito verde e scarpe dorate col tacco. Subito, nella hall, tutti la scambiano per una degli invitati che si sono raccolti nell’albergo per i festeggiamenti del matrimonio che sta per celebrarsi, ma in effetti lei è l’unica ospite dell’hotel estranea a quell’evento. Phoebe è lì perché sognava di soggiornarvi da anni, anzi sognava di farlo col marito, e adesso che lui l’ha lasciata Phoebe è arrivata al Cornwall con uno scopo ben preciso, e non esattamente in tono con l’atmosfera della festa: uccidersi. Nel frattempo la sposa ha pensato a ogni dettaglio, a ogni minimo particolare del suo matrimonio tranne che all’imprevista presenza di Phoebe…
Con una scrittura brillante e uno humour impietoso e irresistibile, Alison Espach riesce a insinuarsi nelle pieghe dell’animo umano e a farle emergere sulla pagina, a mostrarci certi percorsi tortuosi che possono sorprendentemente portarci laddove non avevamo mai immaginato di arrivare, ad aprire portoni laddove tutte le porte sembrano saldamente chiuse. A darci fiducia negli incontri inattesi che a volte riescono a farci prendere una nuova, imprevista direzione.

Recensioni
Words cannot do justice to how brilliant this book is. The author left me speechless, a blubbering machine like those waving cat statues you see in Eastern places, with the exception that I kept repeating, "I love it! I love it! I love it!" Phoebe is real! She's not an ordinary book character. You ca Leggi tutto
She wonders how terrifying it felt . . . looking at the sea, feeling like she was at the very end of it all. She wonders what it was that made her realize there was somewhere else to go. While The Wedding People wasn't a perfect read for me, it certainly was a darn special one. Phoebe has always w
I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!! i am so sad it’s over and i know it will stick with me for awhile—the best feeling ever if you ask me 🫶🏼 i loved so much about it—the characters, the message, the topics, the humor, the storyline, the ending 🙌🏼👏🏼 and Helen Laser (narrator) brought the humor and all the personali Leggi tutto

This book was so human. I loved every single character, and the dialogue felt so authentic and genuinely FUNNY. All of the depictions of depression were so spot on, and I especially appreciated the way that no two characters experienced it in the same way. Such a solidly great read all around.
Ok so it took me a minuteeee to get into this one and I was so afraid I wouldn’t like it, but I LOVED it!!! I don’t know how a book with such heavy subject matter also happens to be laugh out loud funny, but I just adored every second of this and didn’t want it to end 😭
Delightful. The hype is real.
I CAN’T BELIEVE HOW MUCH I LOVED THIS BOOK. I really can’t put my finger on it exactly, but I just loved how much I cared about this story 🤍
