The Garden Party

by Grace Dane Mazur - Fiction

The Cohens are wildly impractical intellectuals --- academics, activists and artists. The Barlows are Wall Street Journal–reading lawyers steeped in trusts and copyrights, golf and tennis. The two families are reserved with and wary of each other. But tonight, the evening before the wedding that is supposed to unite them in marriage, they will attempt to set aside their differences over dinner in the garden.
