Produktbeschreibung

From the author of the Sunday Times Number One Bestseller, The Versions of Us...

FOUR WEDDINGS AND A FUNERAL FOR A NEW GENERATION

Zoe, Al, Rachel, Rob, Yas and Indie. Six friends who were inseparable at university, who have all had their secret or not so secret passions for each other, their own hopes and fears.

Over the years, they have gone their separate ways. Rob is a history teacher, with a string of broken relationships behind him. Yas is a surgeon and very much her own woman. Indie is married and a successful coffee entrepreneur. Rachel is a stay at home mum with two children. Al, widowed young, is about to take over his father's funeral business.

When Rob's engagement party throws the gang together once more, some passions are reignited, old connections and resentments resurface. Over the next twelve months, there will, among the friends, be a birth, a marriage, and a death - but whose?

Set over one year and told from multiple perspectives, BIRTHS, DEATHS AND MARRIAGES is an era-spanning, globe-trotting novel about love, friendship, and how to stay at least relatively sane in an ever crazier world. It's about a group of friends growing older, a pair of sometime lovers finding their way back to each other, about kindness and joy. It's about births, deaths, marriages, and everything in between.

READERS SAY:

'Four Weddings and a Funeral meets One Day.'

'Wow! Just wow! A book for anyone who has loved, for anyone who has experienced the death of a loved one, for anyone who has contemplated or been married, for every parent, indeed, for anyone who has lived. Stunningly astute . . . a profoundly human book, with a genuine depth of understanding of the complex challenges of simply living life.'

'A hugely enjoyable novel which celebrates the durability of friendships that have weathered the storm of growing up.'

'Reminiscent of Four Weddings and a Funeral, Love Actually, Notting Hill'

'Immersive and thought-provoking . . . captures the nuances of human relationships-the tension, the tenderness, the misunderstandings, and the unbreakable bonds that endure despite time and distance.'

'An emotional, heartfelt book about the joys and sorrows of life. It is about love in all its forms, the friendships that shape us, and the quiet moments that define who we become.'

'I haven't read a book this delightful in a long time'

'With its perfect blend of humour, poignancy, and authenticity, this novel will resonate with anyone who's ever experienced the joys and challenges of close relationships.'

'Relatable, funny, moving and hopeful. Births, Deaths and Marriages is a fantastic read that reminded me of Cold Feet and deals with the themes of feeling unsure in your life, grief and moving forward beautifully.'

'Highly addictive and incredibly comforting. Exquisite storytelling written in a way that gives you all the feels from incredible sadness to raucous laughter. These are a bunch of friends I won't forget in a hurry!'
