“A runaway bride leaves behind a thicket of family secrets and betrayals” in this #1 international–bestselling family saga (Kirkus Reviews).
The night before her lavish wedding, Cressida Forrest went to bed serene and happy. By morning she had vanished—without apparent cause, and without a trace. Shocked, anxious, and uncomprehending, the two families face a long day of revelations, as a complex, fragile web of sexual, marital, and financial secrets is ripped apart by Cressida’s disappearance.
