Wry and poignant, this quirky novel is about resilience and defiance in the face of loss.** "Dear Invisible Elaine, I know you are out there somewhere, but it would be really wonderful if I could find you." The Wedding at Bueno-Vista takes us into the world of Elaine Frobisher, a woman who makes herself invisible to those who wish her well, but too visible and vulnerable to those who wish her ill, such predators as the lecherous Adrian Bunce or the burglars who watch her house then steal her possessions and sense of security. Recently widowed and feeling terrorised, she flees to an anonymous apartment block and, for protection, sets about inventing a marriage with an imaginary husband.
