Silver Wedding by Maeve Binchy
Desmond and Deirdre Doyle will have been married for 25 years in October. It falls to the Doyles' eldest daughter, Anna, to decide how to commemorate her parents' Silver Wedding. No use in asking her sister or brother. But it is unthinkable not to have a party, even though for the Doyles, family occasions are more difficult than for most.

Laughter and tears: it's what Binchy does best" San Francisco Chronicle "Maeve Binchy is one of the few writers who can pull at your heartstrings ... she has a touching belief in goodness, but knows that bad things happen... reading her books is like gossiping with old friends" Daily Express "A joy to read from start to finish" Best
