Interpretations of Love

Summary: It's the week of Dr. Agnes Stacey's only daughter's wedding, and each of the 11 attendees of the small family gathering is bringing their own simmering tensions to the event. Where better to lay bare the failures and secrets of one's advancing age than at an intimate celebration of love? 'Interpretations of Love' is a profound debut novel that parses the fraught inner lives of ordinary people doing their best to process the aftershocks of war, the parenting they do and don't receive, and the many different forms love can take in one family. A Dewey Diva Pick.
