Fiction
Winner of the Dylan Thomas Prize
The Van Meters have gathered at their family retreat on the island
of Waskeke to celebrate the marriage of daughter Daphne to the
impeccably appropriate Greyson Duff. The weekend is full of
champagne, salt air and practiced bonhomie, but long-buried
discontent and simmering lust stir beneath the surface.
Winn Van Meter, father of the bride, is not having a good time.
Barred from the exclusive social club he's been eyeing since birth,
he's also tormented by an inappropriate crush on Daphne's beguiling
bridesmaid, Agatha, and the fear that his daughter, Livia--recently
heartbroken by the son of his greatest rival--is a too-ready target
for the wiles of Greyson's best man. When old resentments, a
beached whale and an escaped lobster are added to the mix, the
wedding that should have gone off with military precision threatens
to become a spectacle of misbehavior.
