~ Trade Paperback The Last Romantics is a captivating novel about our most precious and dangerous attachment: Family . . . A sweeping, yet intimate, family epic, 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. A novel that pierces the heart and lingers in the mind, it is also a beautiful meditation on the power of stories: how they guide us through difficult times, help us understand the past, and point the way toward our future. “It is the strength and fragility of the siblings’ bond, the evolving nature of love that is at the core of Conklin’s novel. Gracefully rendered, The Last Romantics focuses on the familiar theme of family with great originality.” -- Washington Post
