I think it is astonishingly good - complete and sharp and individual.' (Virginia Woolf)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis slim, sardonic and beautifully written \u003cem\u003enovella\u003c\/em\u003e by a niece of \u003cspan\u003eLytton Strachey's\u003c\/span\u003e was first published by Leonard and Virginia Woolf at the Hogarth Press in 1932. In it, Dolly is getting ready to marry the Hon. Owen Bigham. Waylaid by the sulking admirer who lost his chance with her, an astonishingly oblivious mother, and her own sinking dread, the bride-to-be struggles to reach the altar with the help of a bottle of rum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall effect of the book is very funny in a Forsterian manner, with Dolly Thatcham being out of the same stable as Lucy Honeychurch in \u003cem\u003eA Room with a View\u003c\/em\u003e and both the mothers, Mrs Thatcham and Mrs Honeychurch, sharing many appalling similarities.

In 2012 it was made into a film starring Felicity Jones. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndpaper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"endpaper-caption\"\u003eThe endpapers are a 1932 design for a printed dress fabric by Madeleine Lawrence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Julia Strachey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44960221790255,"sku":"9781903155271","price":1299.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/6428\/9071\/files\/cheerfulweather_a9bc17d9-fbcb-44a1-a33f-bfcc806165f2.png?v=1775725503","url":"https:\/\/lunabooks.in\/products\/cheerful-weather-for-the-wedding-1","provider":"Luna Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
