Splendid Omens

A tender and beautiful book that follows Alec, a widower in his 60s. Alec arrives in Maine for his old friend Webb's wedding -- Webb's fourth, to a much younger woman -- and finds himself instead at Webb's funeral. This shocking loss sends Alec reeling back over his memories of a long and troubled friendship, marked by suppressed envy and resentment on his part toward the cheerfully amoral Webb.
