The Wedding People: A Novel by Alison Espach Contemporary Fiction What the novel does insteadA propulsive and uncommonly wise novel about one unexpected wedding guest and the surprising people who help her start anew. Its a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn wearing a green dress and gold heels, not a bag in sight, alone. Shes immediately mistaken by everyone in the lobby for one of the wedding people, but shes actually the only guest at the Cornwall who isnt here for the big event.
