"A wise and joyful novel, Strangers and Cousins is about what happens when an already sprawling family hosts an even larger and more chaotic wedding: a compassionate and entertaining story about family, culture, memory, community, and the permeable lines that define one's tribal identity"--, Provided by publisherBennie and Walter are preparing to host the wedding of their eldest daughter, Clem, to her college girlfriend. But Clem has her own agenda. The family is inundated by a brood of quirky relatives, Clem's effervescent college friends, ghosts from the past, a determined little mouse, and even the very group of new neighbors whose presence has shaken Rundle Junction to its core. -- adapted from jacket and perusal of book
