The Wedding People

An outsider at a wedding gets more and more intertwined with the wedding attendees at a high end resort on the coast of Rhode Island. A story of choices, and love, with references to Jane Austen and Charlotte Brontë novels. A cast of complex yet understandable and likable characters. An easy read with thought provoking passages that left me wanting to read the author’s other award winning novels. - Penny

Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner

A novel all about gaining knowledge through observation and yet relying entirely on luck. NOT the action spy novel like many others describe. It is cool, however, filled with regular espionage between governments, protest groups, rogue organizations, and email leaks. In fact it’s more about a lady walking around doing nothing but talking to leaders, getting their information then using it against them. And checking emails. Lots of interesting emails. Highly recommend! - Spenser
