Krátky popis
When a perfect wedding is called off just days before the big
event, it sends two people--and their families--reeling, in this
poignant novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of
Under the Tuscan Sun and Women in Sunlight",A moving immersion in
love and loss.",--People A great marriage is an elusive thing, and
only a few know the secret to making one. Dara Willcox, in New York
for a weekend, meets Austin Clarke at an art gallery. If love at
first sight can happen, it happens to them. These two vivid,
ambitious people are on different courses--he's British, working
temporarily in New York. She's from North Carolina, set on law
school. They don't care. They will make their lives together
happen. At their April engagement dinner at Dara's family home, her
mother, Lee, sets a beautiful table, and the family and close
friends gather to celebrate. Rich, Dara's father, raises a toast.
Suddenly, Lee spills the wine, a brilliant red stain splashing onto
the tablecloth and onto Austin. Days later, Austin hears unsettling
news from London that wrecks their plans. Dara abruptly cancels the
wedding. She refuses to reveal the reason, not even to her best
friends or her parents or grandmother, disrupting their family
tradition of openness. As everyone knows, Lee and Rich have a great
marriage, and Charlotte, her grandmother, had a colossal one, to
the late Senator Mann. Charlotte literally wrote the book on the
subject: She's the author of international bestsellers on what
makes a good or possibly a great marriage. While Dara escapes to
California and Indigo Island, South Carolina, Austin, back in
London, faces a major tragedy, the consequences of which are
life-altering. But it's Lee, Dara's mother, whose impulsive visit
to London alters their fate. With her signature warmth, humor, and
incisive style, beloved author Frances Mayes creates a
multigenerational probe into the complexity of love and the great
mystery ride of marriage. A novel of casual choices and fateful
consequences, A Great Marriage introduces two unforgettable
families and the arrival of a stranger who rearranges their
futures.
