A
sweeping yet intimate epic about one American family, The Last Romantics is an
unforgettable exploration of the ties that bind us together, the
responsibilities we embrace and the duties we resent, and how we can lose—and
sometimes rescue—the ones we love.
When the renowned poet Fiona
Skinner is asked about the inspiration behind her iconic work, The Love Poem,
she tells her audience a story about her family and a betrayal that
reverberates through time.
It begins in a big yellow house
with a funeral, an iron poker, and a brief variation forever known as the
Pause: a free and feral summer in a middle-class Connecticut town. Caught
between the predictable life they once led and an uncertain future that
stretches before them, the Skinner siblings—fierce Renee, sensitive Caroline,
golden boy Joe and watchful Fiona—emerge from the Pause staunchly loyal and
deeply connected. Two decades later, the
siblings find themselves once again confronted with a family crisis that tests
the strength of these bonds and forces them to question the life choices
they’ve made and ask what, exactly, they will do for love.
A novel that pierces the heart
and lingers in the mind, The Last Romantics is also a beautiful meditation on
the power of stories—how they navigate us through difficult times, help us
understand the past, and point the way toward our future.
