HarperCollins, 2017

A New York Times bestseller and winner of the 2012 Dylan Thomas Prize and 2012 L.A. Times First Novel Prize The Van Meters have gathered at their family retreat on the New England island of Waskeke to celebrate the marriage of daughter Daphne to an impeccably appropriate young man. The weekend is full of lobster and champagne, salt air and practiced bonhomie, but long-buried discontent and simmering lust seep through the cracks in the revelry. Winn Van Meter, father-of-the-bride, has spent his life following the rules of the east coast upper crust, but now, just shy of his sixtieth birthday, he must finally confront his failings, his desires, and his own humanity. Seating Arrangements, a top fiction novel by Maggie Shipstead, has been long-listed and short-listed for numerous awards, a testament to its literary merit. The award-winning narrative delves into the life of Winn Van Meter, a character grappling with his own humanity, desires, and failings. For fans of Barbara Kingsolver (Demon Copperhead), Maggie O'Farrell (Hamnet), Hernan Diaz (Trust), Elizabeth Strout (Tell Me Everything), and Kate Atkinson (Normal Rules Don't Apply).
