Listening to this audio book reminded me of the classic movie The Big Chill - former classmates get together, minus the one who died. In A Wedding in December Shreve's characters have a lot to say -- confess even -- but it takes time and revelation to get them there. Listeners will find patience is a virtue as the characters' lives unfold. Various emotions run the gambit for these characters and it felt like I experienced them, too. The wedding is the main storyline, but for me there were many stories and all touchingly lead to one revelation - acceptance, and one conclusion - moving on.

Linda Emond narrates the audio version. Her work includes movies, TV appearances, and Broadway. Emonds narrates with ease and often times a sense of understanding. This is one audio book you should pass on to a good friend.
