The Last Romantics

Author: Tara Conklin

This is another book that came to me through Kathryn and Regan – who needs Amazon!

The story takes place in the future (2079) when the narrator is 102 years old. All this on the first page so I was skeptical regarding the rest of the book. Although each section has a prologue taking place in that time period, the story she is telling is told in a linear manner.

There are three sisters and a brother left to fend for themselves after their father dies and their mother retreats into her own world for about three years. Growing up, each of the sisters adored their one brother and as he spiralled out of control they each reacted in a different manner. At the heart of the matter is a search for Luna, their brother’s girlfriend who they believe he intended to propose to.
