There was never any question that Deirdre and Desmond Doyle would celebrate a gala twenty-fifth anniversary. Naturally, their daughter Anna, would plan their grand affair. Of all three Doyle children, Anna knew exactly what their mother wished--even as she lived her own secret life. Will Brendan, the rebellious son, even bother to return to London? Will Helen, the hapless would-be nun, embarrass them all? This is Deirdres day, a triumph for a woman obsessed with keeping up appearances, her silvery revenge after marrying down twenty-five years ago. Shes determined to show them all: the maid of honor, still unmarried, still gorgeous, now a successful London business woman...the best man, once Desmonds close friend, now his boss...their reluctant priest, who harbors his own guilty secret. As family and friends gather, a lifetime of lies takes its toll. But what begins as a family charade brings with it the transforming power of love--and truth.About the Author:Maeve Binchy was born in County Dublin and educated at the Holy Child convent in Killiney and at University College, Dublin.
