THE WEEKEND: Charlotte Wood

THE WEEKEND

by Charlotte Wood

In long-term group friendships, there is always a glue person: the one who smooths out the rough edges, the one who holds you all together and makes you feel like you belong. What happens when that person dies? And what if the rest of you find that you don’t much like each other after all,  but must all come together for one last weekend? Charlotte Wood writes with devastating insight of what it is like to be older and to suddenly find yourself in a quagmire of unknowns.
