Description

A decadent wedding serves as the elaborate rouse for a romantic scheme in this comedy of manners set on the Big Island of Hawaii. Auggie and Maxxi's union is a lavish affair, with every detail designed to make one very eligible, pedigreed Princess Paloma de Courcy fall in love with Auggie's surfer-photographer brother. However, family emotions flare when a pregnancy test reveals an after-hours tryst, and the heat of the situation rivals that of Pele, Hawaiian God of fire. As the story unfolds, a joyful return from one of our greatest social satirists is revealed, offering a humorous exploration of family, money, sex, and the lies we tell about ourselves. This witty satire is a worthwhile read for anyone who enjoys comedy of manners and romantic comedies.
