From Publishers Weekly

The arrangements for celebrating Desmond and Deirdre Doyle's forthcoming silver wedding anniversary fall to Anna, their eldest daughter, who works in a pretentious London bookshop. Anna proceeds to make a list of guests, most important of whom, besides her parents and herself, are her sister Helen, brother Brendan, and three other participants in the wedding ceremony: the best man, Frank Quigley; Maureen Barry, the maid of honor; and Father Hurley. Each leisurely chapter deals with one of these characters, detailing their lives in the 25 years since the Doyle's marriage. Binchy ( Firefly Summer) exhibits her gift for astute and loving characterization as she examines the way relationships and families work. She engagingly delineates the pressures, both stated and unstated, that repel or attract, the striving for approval from parents and lovers. At the silver wedding celebration, when the obligatory photograph is taken for the family album, the reader knows well what fears and doubts, secrets and achievements lie behind the happy smiles. Readers Digest Condensed Book selection; BOMC featured alternate; major ad/promo.

5.0étoiles sur 5 a realistic heart-wrenching one by Binchy, Avril 19 2002
Par Saima Huq "sh" (Astoria, NY USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Silver Wedding (Paperback)
This is possibly Binchy's most realistic book on family life and human relationships. Several people -- including their three children -- are gathering for Desmond and Deirdre's 25th wedding anniversary. Each chapter is devoted to a different character and where they are in their lives, how they got there, and how it affects their comfort level at the celebration when they encounter the others, including the long-married couple.

Among them are Deirdre and Desmond themselves (in separate chapters), their daughter Anna who just got unmistakable proof her boyfriend is cheating on her, their clumsy silly daughter Helen who has joined a convent as a means of finding peace with her place in the world (and is messing up anyway), their son Brendan who has gone to work on their reclusive uncle's farm and is debating whether to attend the party at all.

Then there are those who served as best man and maid of honor years ago, as well as co-workers. And Deirdre and Desmond's relationship as well...

This book will leave you with a slightly unsettled sense, just like many complicated relationships in real life do. At first I didn't like the book for it but, upon the second reading, perhaps that is what makes it so good!!!

4.0étoiles sur 5 silver wedding review, Mars 7 2002
Par Carri L. Shook "Shookie" (Jimtown) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Silver Wedding (Paperback)
I found Silver Wedding to be on the better side of all of Binchy's books, but not all that great. I had trouble choosing between a 3 & 4 for the stars but chose 4 because it wasn't bad enough to be a 3. It was good in the sense that there was a section foreach character & it all started to pull together. It did get boring sometimes, though & I didn't like the ending. Binchy does have a talent and it can make you feel like part of the book, sometimes loving or hating the characters. I would say, in the end, it was worth reading & enjoyable.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Silver Wedding, Fév 4 2002
Par Karen Potts (Lake Jackson, Texas) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Silver Wedding (Paperback)
Deirdre and Desmond are planning a party for their 25th. wedding anniversary. They are helped by their daughter Anna, who is just getting over an unhappy love affair. Less helpful are their other two children, Helen, a hopeless bungler who is hoping to be taken on as a nun, and Brendan, who has escaped his childhood home and family to take up farming with his Uncle Vincent in Ireland. Other guests include the best man Frank, who has become much more successful than Desmond and the maid of honor, Helen, both of whom have their own problems. Deirdre is extremely concerned with appearances, since she married "beneath her" 25 years ago, and her gentle falsehoods and nervous posturings effect her children and others around her. Each of the eight main characters is introduced in a chapter and they all come together for the celebration at the end. This book does not have the depth of other Binchey novels, nor the redemption of all of its characters, but it is an interesting read, nonetheless.
