Wedding Puzzle

Author(s): Sallie Muirden

Australian Fiction

On the morning of her wedding, 24-year-old Beth Shaw drives down the peninsula to the Portsea Hotel. She is uneasy and confused because she has just learnt something devastating about her fiancé, Jordan, that completely changes her view of him. As Beth's old schoolmates and her relatives arrive for the big day at the bay side idyll, Beth contemplates her childhood in suburbia. She worshipped the school relay runners, one of whom was Jordan's high school sweetheart. Painful memories of earlier disloyalties and betrayals resurface. Her dreams and wedding threaten to spin out of control. Will the truth ever be known? And must she make a fateful decision about more than the wedding arrangements? Award-winning author Sallie Muirden deftly evokes the contradictions of human behaviour, and growing up in the 70s and 80s. With its Austenesque feel, Wedding Puzzle is an astute, entertaining and often tense comedy of manners, that both questions and celebrates our choice of partner and the decision to marry as the key moment in our lives. 'Muirden captures Beth's messy transition to adulthood with warmth and wisdom--Wedding Puzzle is shrewd, nostalgic and intelligent.' Toni Jordan, author of Addition and The Fragments
