""Winn Van Meter is heading for his family's retreat on the pristine New England island of Waskeke. Normally a haven of calm, for the next three days this sanctuary will be overrun by tipsy revelers as Winn prepares for the marriage of his daughter Daphne to the affable young scion Greyson Duff. Winn's wife, Biddy, has planned the wedding with military precision, but arrangements are sideswept by a storm of salacious misbehavior and intractable lust: Daphne's sister, Livia, who has recently had her heart broken by Teddy Fenn, the son of her father's oldest rival, is an eager target for the seductive wiles of Greyson's best man; Winn, instead of reveling in his patriarchal duties, is tormented by his long-standing crush on Daphne's beguiling bridesmaid Agatha; and the bride and groom find themselves presiding over a spectacle of misplaced desire, marital infidelity, and monumental loss of faith in the rituals of American life"--Provided by publisher."
"Two days before a father gives his daughter away in an all-American east coast wedding.Two days for a seemingly safe world of wealth and privilege to unravel. 59-year-old patriarch Winn Van Meter is heading for his family's retreat on the pristine New England island of Waskeke. Normally a haven of calm, for the next three days this sanctuary will be overrun with relatives and friends as Winn prepares to marry off his daughter Daphne to Greyson Duff. Winn has never really understood his daughters. Daphne is pleased to be settling down with a fine match, even though she's heavily pregnant at her own wedding. Her sister Livia has foolishly allowed her heart to be broken by Teddy Fenn, the son of her father's oldest social rival."
"Winn van Meter hielt sich immer an die Regeln bürgerlichen Lebens. Mit einem Harvard-Abschluss, einer Mitgliedschaft in den richtigen Clubs, einer Ehefrau mit Herkunftsnachweis und einem angemessen bescheidenen Sommerhaus am Atlantik auf einer der vornehmen Ostküsten-Inseln, ging er davon aus, er werde seinem 60. Geburtstag mit der Gelassenheit eines Mannes entgegensehen, der gut gelebt und sein Leben im Griff hat. Dummerweise kooperieren weder die Vorsehung noch die Familie. Daphne, seine ältere Tochter, schwanger und uneinsichtig, beabsichtigt zu heiraten. Seine jüngere Tochter Livia muss sich von einem Nervenzusammenbruch erholen, und Winn wird feststellen, dass er, entgegen guter Vorsätze, noch immer verrückt nach einer von Daphnes Freundinnen ist, die, jetzt als Brautjungfer, einiges daransetzt, seine Selbsteinschätzung als anständiger Bürger und Familienvater zu unterlaufen... Maggie Shipstead wurde 1983 in Mission Viejo, California, geboren und studierte von 2002 bis 2005 Amerikanische Literatur in Harvard. Erst im Alter von achtzehn Jahren, während ihres Studiums, kam sie erstmals mit der amerikanischen Ostküste in Berührung. Anschliessend besuchte sie den berühmten Iowa Writers" Workshop, wo Zadie Smith sie unterrichtete. 2008 schloss sie mit einem Master of Fine Arts ab. Von 2009 bis 2011 hatte sie ein Stegner-Fellowship in fiction writing an der Stanford University inne."

"Winn van Meter hielt sich immer an die Regeln. Er ist ein reicher North-Eastener, grosszügig und von trockenem Humor, auch wenn er in der Garage einen Tennisball aufhängt, um klarzumachen, wo exakt der Wagen geparkt zu sein habe. Mit einem Harvard-Abschluss, einer Mitgliedschaft in den richtigen Clubs, einer Ehefrau mit Herkunftsnachweis und einem angemessen bescheidenen Sommerhaus auf einer der vornehmen Ostküsten-Inseln, ging er davon aus, er werde seinen 60.
