A moving evocation of life's inexplicable calamities and also a magical celebration of childhood and the bonds of family, 'At Weddings And Wakes' is the story of three generations of an Irish-American family through the eyes of its youngest members.

Twice a week, Lucy Dailey leaves suburbia with her three children in tow, returning to the Brooklyn home where she grew up, and where her stepmother and unmarried sisters still live. Aunt Veronica, with her wounded face and dreams of beauty, drowns her sorrow in drink.

Aunt Agnes, an acerbic student of elegance, sips only from the finest crystal as she sees Aunt May, the ex-nun, blossom with a late and unexpected love. And all the while, the children watch, absorbing the legacy of their haunted family.
