So Good to See You: A Novel

Written by Francesca Hornak

Narrated by Elaine Claxton

A sharply-observed novel of friendship, love, class, and money set during a wedding celebration at a remote chateau in Provence.

Rosie, Daniel, and Serge met at Oxford in the early 2000s. Fifteen years later, they are guests at a lavish three-day wedding in Provence. They are also no longer on speaking terms.

Rosie is dreading a weekend around her ex, Serge, and his fiancé Isla. Serge is hiding a crippling debt—and a secret separation. Daniel, now a successful actor, is drinking to cope with life in the limelight. And Isla is wondering why motherhood looks so much easier for everyone else . . .

As the champagne flows, historic rivalries and infatuations surface, and old and new secrets emerge. This is a wedding to be remembered, for all the wrong reasons.
