A Warm Family Story: Read Our Review of The Wedding Party by Cathy Kelly

#1 Sunday Times bestselling author Cathy Kelly returns with a heartwarming and refreshingly relatable story about sisterhood, love and friendship – and the secrets we keep hidden from those closest to us.

This is a novel about four sisters, decades of secrets and a week they’ll never forget. The Wedding Party follows the four Robicheaux sisters – Indy, Eden, Savannah and Rory – as they return home for their parents’ wedding, at the beautiful Hotel Sorrento where they all grew up as children. For the first time in 15 years, the sisters are back together, and it doesn’t take long for long-buried secrets to surface.

With her inimitable warmth and wisdom, bestselling Irish author Kelly shows us that in the messy reality of marriage, family, and romance, sometimes it’s the women in our lives who hold us together. Kelly is one of those writers that you can count upon to deliver a warm, uplifting, moving and complex family story, again after again. Her latest novel, The Wedding Party, joins past favourites Other Women, The Family Gift and The Year that Change Everything. Her books regularly top bestseller lists in Ireland, the UK and Australia – and it’s easy to see why.

The premise of The Wedding Party revolves around the re-marriage of Meg and Stu to one another, after they first married, then divorced. Taking place at the Irish hotel they operate, the home their four daughters grew up in, the weekend of the wedding becomes a perfect storm for family secrets and drama to arise. Following the storylines of the four sisters and their mother, there is bound to be something relatable here for readers of all ages. Kelly has great insight when it comes to familial relationships and the bonds and strains that ultimately connect women.

New and old fans of Kelly, as well as readers of Marian Keyes and Sheila O’Flanagan, will enjoy getting swept up in The Wedding Party. It’s a great blend of humour, strong women and family.

        Wedding is a very bright event in the life of every person. Of course, it is important to organize the holiday itself well. But it seems to me that the main thing is to take good pictures. After all, they store all the memories. Glad I found out about Blue Bend Photography and hired a wonderful photographer for my wedding. His ideas helped turn every photo into a masterpiece. I am very glad that I used the services of specialists and all my photographs turned out perfect.
