The Last Romantics "Tara Conklin is a generous writer who deftly brings us into the world of this fictional family, an engrossing and vivid place where I was happy to stay. The Last Romantics is a richly observed novel, both ambitious and welcoming." - MEG WOLITZER "Tara Conklin's The Last Romantics is a triumph of storytelling. an ambitious examination of the failures of love and how we, against all odds, find a way to survive. The writing is stunning. in service of a story that you won't be able to resist. pulling you deeper and deeper into a world that Conklin has so lovingly constructed. A complex, resonant work that will reshape your understanding of family." - KEVIN WILSON, New York Times bestselling author of The Family Fang "I loved Tara Conklin's first novel. The House Girl; her second was worth the wait. Impeccably written with characters that absorbed me completely. I was swept away by The Last Romantics. A moving, ambitious, and nuanced family epic and a beautiful meditation on love, loss, grief. and forgiveness." - CRISTINA ALGER, nationally bestselling author of The Banker's Wife "All of the luxuriously spun characters in The Last Romantics, entwined via that impossible web we call family, unfold over their many years with the perfect balance of familiarity and wonder that makes turning their pages such a pleasure." - LAURIE FRANKEL, New York Times bestselling author of This Is How It Always Is "When elder poet Fiona Skinner is asked to explain the origins of her famous Love Poem, her mind skips back to her family of origin, and the sacrifices. devotion. and secrets kept between them. Following the four Skinner siblings from a childhood tragedy through to their later years, The Last Romantics is a sweeping exploration of love in its many forms and of the grief. longing, pride, regret, and everything else that powerful force brings forth in all of us." - MIRANDA BEVERLY-WHITTEMORE, New York Times bestselling author of Bittersweet and June
