| Welcome to Shiver-de-Freeze， a boot-shaped precinct deep in the Louisiana swamp， famous for its healing waters and curious fauna. Grisham Loudermilk is marrying Ariane Thevenot at Paradise， the family s ancestral home， and we re here for the wedding. But reason and love， it would seem， keep little company in Paradise these days: Grisham s cousin Adlai Birdsong has fallen desperately in love with the bride-to-be. Adlai s ill-advised courtship proceeds even as his daddy， Royce， struggles to recall his past in the face of Alzheimer s; as Father Pat McDermott realizes his passion for the mother of the bride; as the conjoined twins， Tous-les-Deux， train their eyes on Boudou Fontana， the last of the star-crossed Fontana clan. And just when it seems that Adlai must resign himself to a prolonged season of bachelorhood， Miranda Ferry， Grisham s recent lover， wanders into town unawares. With his signature tragic-comic voice and cast of unforgettable and lively characters， Dufresne explores love， death， imagination， and memory. Reading group guide available |
