From Booklist
Recrimination and regret underlie an emotional reunion of seven former classmates from the Kidd Academy, an elite prep school, who gather at an inn in the Berkshire Mountains for a wedding. Nora, the widow of an abusive, renowned poet and the owner of the inn, has agreed to host the wedding of Bridget, ill with cancer, and Bill, who has divorced his wife to marry his high-school sweetheart. Among the wedding guests are Harrison, still in love with Nora and still reeling from the tragic death of his roommate, a gifted but troubled athlete, at the academy some 27 years earlier, and Agnes, a long-single history teacher with a tumultuous love life. Uncertainties bred in the wake of 9/11 also play a role here, although they are summoned indirectly through a story that Agnes is writing about a ship collision in Halifax Harbor in 1917 that left 2,000 dead and hundreds blinded. Operating with a heightened sense of their mortality, the former classmates regard each other's life decisions with a mixture of envy, wariness, and spite. The skillful, prolific Shreve, who seems to turn out one best-seller per year, seamlessly moves her story between the horrific events of Halifax Harbor and the nearly as horrific reunion, underscoring the fleeting nature of happiness and the painful trade-offs it often requires.
