Cheerful Weather for the Wedding is a novella by Julia Strachey. Published by the Hogarth Press in 1932, it tells the story of a brisk March day in England, somewhere on the Dorset coast,during which Dolly is due to marry the Honourable Owen Bigham. Waylaid by the disheartened admirer who failed to win her over while he still could, a distant and detached mother, and her own sense of foreboding, Dolly turns to a bottle of rum in the hope of reaching the altar.After the edition published by Leonard and Virginia Woolf in 1932, Strachey’s work was neglected until 1978 when Penguin Books produced a new edition which incorporates both Cheerful Weather for the Wedding and An Integrated Man.Cheerful Weather for the Wedding-Free movie downloads
