Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)

There was never any question that Deirdre and Desmond Doyle would celebrate a gala twenty-fifth anniversary.

Naturally, their daughter Anna, would plan their grand affair.

Of all three Doyle children, Anna knew exactly what their mother wished-even as she lived her own secret life.

Will Brendan, the rebellious son, even bother to return to London?

Will Helen, the hapless would-be nun, embarrass them all?

This is Deirdre's day, a triumph for a woman obsessed with keeping up appearances, her silvery revenge after ""marrying down"" twenty-five years ago.

She's determined to show them all- the maid of honor, still unmarried, still gorgeous, now a successful London business woman...the best man, once Desmond's close friend, now his boss...their reluctant priest, who harbors his own guilty secret.

As family and friends gather, a lifetime of lies takes its toll.

But what begins as a family charade brings with it the transforming power of love-and truth.
