Two Days After the Wedding

May 15, 2006
In Medlicott's latest Covington novel, the three mature friends, Grace, Amelia and Hannah, who share a home, attempt to understand the men in their lives and figure out just what they want from them. Amelia, a photographer, is preparing for an exhibit of her work in New York, a long way from their small North Carolina town. Grace's boyfriend, Bob, moves next door. He's been asking her to marry him, and she refuses, but seems to need to keep apprised of his every movement in a way she didn't need to before. Hannah has been working with Max. He has asked her to marry him, and she has agreed, although nothing has been said of love, nor kisses exchanged. Even though they love their men, these gals also like their freedom. Is marriage more than just a compromise? Can they achieve some happy medium? Join the ladies and the rest of the colorful cast of characters in the latest of Medlicott's popular homey tales.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2006, American Library Association.)
