内容简介 Book DescriptionA sharp comedy of marriage, motherhood, and scandal, filled with mordant wit and moral philosophy. Its constituent novels The Clothes in the Wardrobe (1987), The Skeleton in the Cupboard (1988), and The Fly in the Ointment (1989) describe from three points of view the circumstances surrounding a wedding which, at the last minute, fortunately fails to take place. Basis for the 1993 film. With a new Afterword by Thomas Meagher.
