The Silver Wedding by Maeve Binchy
This is a collection of six interlinked stories about a family preparing for the parent's silver wedding anniversary and the skeletons this drags from the cupboard. Gradually, as the stories develop, it becomes obvious that the marriage is far from happy and the anniversary itself a sham. Maeve Binchy also wrote Light a Penny Candle, Echoes, Firefly Summer, Dublin and London Transport.
