A Garden in Suffolk

Mary is getting married, and the whole family is coming together for the wedding — daughters with spouses, ex-husband, mother-in-law. Their relationships cannot be called simple: the family history involves both betrayal and deep wounds. Mary can only hope that... the wedding will go without scandals, while she recalls, recalls, recalls: births and deaths, first love and divorce, former friends and her hopes. The wedding table is set in the garden, and the golden sun mercilessly illuminates everything that the gathered would prefer not to remember.
This unhurried English novel tells about one hot day — and about forty years of life. Perfect reading for lovers of family sagas, psychological dramas, Ann Patchett's novels, and sunflowers.
