Although the Victorian white wedding dominates western bridal dress and large portions of former colonial empires, marriage rituals vary significantly throughout the world. The Japanese, for instance, combine both traditional ceremonies with receptions utilizing western approaches to dress. In the Andes the bride will personally create a multi-layered dress to showcase her weaving skills. Berber brides in Morocco wear binding clothing that covers their faces, a notable contrast to Canadian prairie-province brides whose stylized gowns individualize and enhance body shape. This engaging book examines the evolution and ritual functions of wedding attire within the context of particular cultures. It raises questions as to the relationship between contemporary wedding attire and traditional values. It discusses the changes international migrations have had upon the wedding dress of several ethnic groups. It provides insights into numerous societal relationships to weddings, such as the ban on bridal-produced embroidery in dowries in India, the challenges individual values have to larger societal ones in themed weddings, and the relationship between the return to pre-western attire and identity politics. Exploring these issues, the authors provide unusual insights into the centrality of dress in shaping individual identity as well as its importance in reflecting cultural values and ideals.

This chilling novel of suspense and unseen danger hailed is “a great nail-biter . . . Moran is headed straight for the thriller hall of fame” (Lee Child, New York Times–bestselling author). Arizona auto mechanic Cadence Moran is no stranger to darkness. Since she was blinded eight years ago in a horrific car accident that also took the life of her three-year-old niece, she has struggled to deal with the lingering guilt and pain. But she manages to get by. Then, on the way home from work, she is almost run down in the street by a speeding car. At first, Cadence thinks she’s the victim of road rage, bad driving, or just plain bad luck. But the truth is far more terrifying. Someone out there thinks she’s a witness to murder—one that needs to be eliminated. Now Cadence must piece together a deadly puzzle in the dark. And if she can’t, that darkness will certainly lead to her death . . . Contrasting the glare of a Southwestern summer with the shadows of a blind woman’s nightmares, The Fault Tree delivers “an original and gripping work, more proof—as if any was needed—that Louise Ure is an exciting new voice in the mystery field (Laura Lippman, New York Times–bestselling author of Wilde Lake).
