  <default-description>There was never any question that Deirdre and Desmond Doyle would celebrate a gala twenty-fifth anniversary.  Naturally, their daughter Anna, would plan their grand affair.  Of all three Doyle children, Anna knew exactly what their mother wished&amp;#8212;even as she lived her own secret life.  Will Brendan, the rebellious son, even bother to return to London?  Will Helen, the hapless would-be nun, embarrass them all?  This is Deirdre&amp;#8217;s day, a triumph for a woman obsessed with keeping up appearances, her silvery revenge after &amp;#8220;marrying down&amp;#8221; twenty-five years ago.  She&amp;#8217;s determined to show them all: the maid of honor, still unmarried, still gorgeous, now a successful London business woman&amp;#8230;the best man, once Desmond&amp;#8217;s close friend, now his boss&amp;#8230;their reluctant priest, who harbors his own guilty secret.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As family and friends gather, a lifetime of lies takes its toll.  But what begins as a family charade brings with it the transforming power of love&amp;#8212;and truth.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;i&gt;From the Paperback edition.&lt;/i&gt;</default-description>

Most of these characters, however, are stuck in unhappy situations and don't have the gumption to try to change them, so I found the book generally frustrating.

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't think this was Maeve Binchy's best book, but it was a pleasant enough read.  None of the characters were too likable, and none of their stories were very developed, which left me a bit cold.  However, it was a fine way to pass a few nights, and I just love Maeve Binchy no matter what!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I ran out of books to read in Europe and bought this in a random second hand english book store in Spain (it was pretty hard to find english books). Pretty mindless easy read. Wasn't that impressed with the ending - first half of the book went by quicker.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Wasn't crazy about this one. Each chapter was based on a different character going to 25th wedding anniversary party. The individual stories never combined until the very end of the book.]]></body>
