Everyone has to make decisions about love. Wilfred Price, overcome with emotion on a sunny spring day, proposes to a girl he barely knows at a picnic. The girl, Grace, joyfully accepts and rushes to tell her family of Wilfred's intentions. But by this time Wilfred has realised his mistake. He does not love Grace. On the verge of extricating himself, Wilfred's situation suddenly becomes more serious when Grace's father steps in. Up until this point in his life, Wilfred's existence has been blissfully simple, and the young undertaker seems unable to stop the swirling mess that now surrounds him. To add to Wilfred's emotional turmoil, he thinks he may just have met the perfect girl for him. As Wilfred struggles in an increasingly tangled web of expectation and duty, love and lies, Grace reveals a long-held secret that changes everything.

The Thoughts and Happenings of Wilfred Price, Purveyor of Superior Funerals submitted by leighsprauer on August 22, 2014, 6:47pm Although the events are depressing, the book is a very enjoyable read. The book centers around a love triangle between Wilfred, his betrothed, and the girl he falls in love with. The characters, especially Wilfred and his father, are endearing, and the descriptions of the small town in which they live make their story vibrant. I would highly recommend this as a quick summer read.
