As previously recommended by the New York Times, the story by Alison Esbach gives us the option of learning through books rather than lecture courses. Her new novel The Wedding People is a deeply satisfying one.
The comedic plot of a week-long wedding party, in a nineteenth-century hotel sitting on the edge of a cliff at Rhode Island, isn't to crack jokes but to engage in an interweaving journey of different guests. The story has become funnier in direct proportion to the darkness of guest's life including one recently divorced adjunct literature professor who wished to kill herself.
The book becomes an absurdly revelatory exploration of how we should learn to take care of our own needs, and then our encounters.
