About this audiobook
Mr & Mrs Max Irving request the company of: Mrs Fran Friedman, mourning her empty nest, the galloping years, and a disastrous haircut. Mr Saul Friedman, avoider of conflicts and increasingly distant husband. The two Misses Friedman, Pip and Katy, one pining over the man she can't have, the other trying to shake off the man she no longer wants. At the marriage of their son James Irving, object of inappropriate and troubling desire.
A dark, witty tale of a wife and her grown-up family whose secrets come shimmering to the surface at a wedding: told in real-time over 36 hours.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Someone Else’s Wedding – Tamar Cohen – 2/10 (DNF)From the blurb, because it's very cleverMr & Mrs Max Irving request the company of:Mrs Fran Friedman, mourning her empty nest, her lost baby, the galloping years, and a disastrous haircut.Mr Saul Friedman, runner of marathons, avoider of conflicts and increasingly distant husband.The two Misses Friedman, Pip and Katy, one pining over the man she can’t have, the other trying to shake off the man she no longer wants.At the marriage of their son James Irving, forbidden object of inappropriate and troubling desire.I never got off the ground with this one. I found Fran self-indulgent, self-pitying and the mystery of her relationship with the groom was very strange. Surely they should be totally different generations? Saul and the daughters were interesting characters and Cohen comes out with a spectacular turn of phrase every now and again, but I got really tired of Fran’s voice. DNF, and sharpish.
