MADE IN HEAVEN
Book ID/图书代码: 05430005B09639
English Summary/英文概要: Suzannah (known as Zannah) and Adrian are planning to marry in May, the loveliest time of year. Zannah has always wanted a beautiful, traditional wedding and feels she missed out the first time round when she married Cal, father of her daughter Isis.
Now two families are to meet for the first time. Will the slightly bohemian Gratrixes from Cheshire and the wealthy Ashtons from the Home Counties like each other? The meeting will take place on neutral territory, at a lunch party in the home of Zannah’s Great-aunt Charlotte in London - but no one anticipates the reaction when Zannah’s mother and Adrian’s stepfather first meet - and a series of events is set in motion with consequences no one expected...
As the story unfolds, full of drama, conflict, revelations, reconciliations and romance, the two families plus several outsiders move forward towards the inevitable Big Day. Not everyone will get what they want. Not all marriages are made in heaven...
