The beautiful and naive Clover Collette has been in the clutches of her overbearing mother for twenty-four years, but when Francis Darling unintentionally penetrates her defenses, the two suddenly and secretly fall in love.
Within hours they’re engaged and on the run. Madly in love, they drift through the heartland of America confronted by bank robbers, maniacal doctors, a Wall Street tycoon, an absentminded poet, and a blind artist – each one troubled by a heart wrenching tale of love.
The Last Darling is a dark and diverging love story woven across three generations. As intimacy and perceptions twist into a vivid and wonderfully sad vision of love, we see that love is never really lost, only transformed. “He said it was like a large slab of stone. Stone could be carved and cut and broken into many tiny pieces, but each of those pieces was still stone.”
