Did You Ever Have a Family by Bill Clegg
June's daughter Lolly and her fiance Will are getting married in the morning. June has had a fight with her (younger) boyfriend, Luke, and is sitting outside waiting for him to return. When suddenly an explosion kills Lolly, Will, and Luke.
June and Luke's mother, Lydia, are left adrift. And each handles her loss in a different way, There's also someone on the periphery who knows what caused the explosion and he is living with a world of guilt. In this beautifully written book Bill Clegg weaves together the stories of the survivors and how they cope with unimaginable loss. The story keeps shifting from narrator to narrator until we get the complete picture of what happened that sad night before the wedding and who all these people really were.
