Als Cassandra Edwards sich zur Hochzeit ihrer Zwillingsschwester Judith aufmacht, hat sie vor allem eines im Sinn: die Vermählung zu verhindern. Was will ihre hochmusikalische Schwester mit irgendeinem durchschnittlichen, jungen Arzt - wie hieß er noch? Seinen Namen kann sie sich nicht merken. Kompromisse und Mittelmaß sind ihr ein Gräuel, und radikal sich selbst treu zu bleiben, das ist in ihrer Familie oberstes Familiengebot. - Wird Cassandra auf der Suche nach sich selbst in ihrer symbiotischen Beziehung zu Judith gefangen bleiben? Wird Judith die Reise ins Unbekannte antreten und sich aus der beklemmenden schwesterlichen Zweisamkeit befreien können? Beiden steht eine existentielle und, wie sich zeigen wird, extrem bedrohliche Herausforderung bevor. - Ein hochintelligenter, witziger, vielschichtiger und scharfzüngiger Roman über Bindung, die Spielarten von Erotik und unsere Suche nach der großen, erfüllenden Liebe, jener Seelenverwandtschaft, die von unserer Einsamkeit eine Brücke zum Anderen schlägt.
Knowing, wise and a cracking read. Irish Independent
An important achievement intoxicating fun. Lillian Smith
[Baker s] ear for dialogue is acute, her prose immaculate this is a novel of exceptional quality. Times Literary Supplement
I whose usual bed time is ten o clock stayed up all night reading that exquisite Cassandra at the Wedding dazzled by the pyrotechnics of such an artist. I can only think back to Young Man with a Horn, and be overwhelmed by Dorothy Baker s continuing brilliance. Carson McCullers
Dorothy Baker s Cassandra at the Wedding (New York Review Books, 2004) is another novel in which it s hard not to be caught up from the very first page by the first person voice of the speaker. Originally published in 1962, this is the compulsively readable story of Cassandra s unwilling trip home to attend (or prevent) her twin sister Judith s wedding. She s one of those neurotic, intellegent women, trying to understand the direction her life has taken. Long out of print, this is just one of the wonderful titles (both fiction and non fiction) brought back to life by a publishing company whose mission, according to editor Edwin Frank, is to rescue some of the many truly remarkable works of literature that have had the misfortune of falling out of print. -- Nancy Pearl, The Beat, KUOW 94.9 FM Seattle NPR
Belongs with Salinger s Catcher in the Rye and McCullers s Member of the Wedding as a modern American classic. Georgia Hammick
A brilliantly told story remarkably subtle inexporably lucid. The New York Times
