Synopsis
Set in 1926, two years after the end of The Thoughts and Happenings of Wilfred Price, Purveyor of Superior Funerals, Wendy Jones' The World is a Wedding finds Wilfred Price married to Flora Myfanwy and trying to be the perfect husband. His efforts only intensify when he learns that Flora is expecting. But something doesn't feel right to Flora: she doesn't feel at home. Meanwhile, Grace (to whom Wilfred was very briefly married before he met Flora) has fled Narberth for London, trying to escape what has happened to her and the secret she carries because of it. But secrets are not so easily escaped--and Grace's will affect Wilfred and Flora, too.
A sophisticated comedy of manners, The World is a Wedding captures life in a small town in Wales and explores the complexities of marriage, motherhood, and masculinity and femininity with equal wit and insight."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Book Description
Wendy Jones picks up where The Thoughts and Happenings of Wilfred Price, Purveyor of Superior Funerals left off: It is 1926. Wilfred is newly married and preparing for fatherhood. But can he embrace his future, without letting go of his past? The keenly anticipated follow-up to a much-loved debut novel.
From the Back Cover
Can Wilfred embrace his future without letting go of his past?
It is 1926. Wilfred Price, purveyor of superior funerals, is newly married to the beautiful (and pregnant) Flora Myfanwy and busy preparing for fatherhood by reading a philosophy book and opening a paint-and-wallpaper business. As much as he loves Flora, he senses her distance from him. Are marriage and fatherhood going to be very different from how Wilfred imagined?
His brief and painful marriage to Grace is long behind him. Grace has fled from Narberth to London, where she is working as a chambermaid at the luxurious Ritz Hotel. But Grace has a secret, one that can't be hidden forever and binds her to her old life in Wales.
Despite Wilfred's earnest effort to embrace the future, he is beginning to wonder if the past has too powerful a hold on him in the witty and charming follow-up to the much-loved The Thoughts and Happenings of Wilfred Price, Purveyor of Superior Funerals.
