Two for Joy

Two for Joy

by Patrici Scanlan (Author)

Synopsis

Oliver Flynn's wedding is the social event of the year, and the creme de la creme of Kilronan are happy to boast of being invited. Noreen, his new wife, has finally outclassed her two sisters, who think they are better than her in every way. Not any more! But there is one nagging doubt- does Oliver really love her? Would he have married her if she hadn't done the proposing herself? Cora Flynn, Oliver's bitter mother, has boycotted the wedding. She is determined that her detested new daughter-in-law will not become the number-one woman in her son's life. Wedding guest Lorna Morgan can't wait to shake the dust of Kilronan off her shoes. She's destined for bright city lights, unlike her stick-in-the-mud cousin, Heather Williams, who was only invited to the afters with her clodhopper boyfriend, Neil. But then in Lorna's eyes, Heather 's just an afters sort of person and always will be. But worms turn, and what a difference a year makes. In Dublin, London and New York there is no respite for Noreen, Lorna or Heather. Only in Kilronan can the Pandora's box that was opened at Oliver Flynn's wedding finally be closed.

Media Reviews
The author of Francesca's Party and other novels has produced a delightful new story, which is full of zest and splendid entertainment. Noreen has lured Oliver into marriage, and is determined to enjoy all the good things of life, having outclassed her two sisters. The only fly in the ointment is Cora, his mother, who hates the idea of any other woman, Noreen particularly, making off with her wee lamb, and so stays away from the wedding, which is a huge social event for Kilronan. One of the guests, Lorna, can't wait to be out of it all and enjoying Dublin, London and New York. What happens to all the characters involved makes a fascinating story. This one is destined to be a big bestseller.
