**A Bustle Book Club Selection
This poignant and romantic novel from the New York Times bestselling
author of One Italian Summer and In Five Years *answers the
question: If you could have dinner with any five people, living or dead,
who would they be?
"I have five words for Rebecca Serle's The Dinner List: wistful,
delicious, romantic, magical, love."
--Gabrielle Zevin, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Storied
Life of A.J. Fikry and Young Jane Young
"We've been waiting for an hour." That's what Audrey says. She states
it with a little bit of an edge, her words just bordering on cursive.
That's the thing I think first. Not: Audrey Hepburn is at my birthday
dinner, but Audrey Hepburn is annoyed."
At one point or another, we've all been asked to name five people,
living or dead, with whom we'd like to have dinner. Why do we choose the
people we do? And what if that dinner was to actually happen? These are
the questions Rebecca Serle contends with in her utterly captivating
novel, The Dinner List, a story imbued with the same delightful
magical realism as One Day, and the life-changing romance of Me
Before You.
When Sabrina arrives at her thirtieth birthday dinner she finds at the
table not just her best friend, but also three significant people from
her past, and well, Audrey Hepburn. As the appetizers are served, wine
poured, and dinner table conversation begins, it becomes clear that
there's a reason these six people have been gathered together.
