Description

The Last Resort by Alison Lurie As winter sets in, Jenny's life with her husband Wilkie becomes increasingly strained. Desperate for a change, she persuades him to visit Key West, hoping the tropical scenery will lift his spirits. However, as they settle into their new surroundings, Wilkie's behaviour grows more erratic and distant. Jenny finds herself drawn to some of the local characters, including Gerry, an ex-beatnik poet, and Lee, the manager of a women-only guest house. As she becomes more involved with these intriguing individuals, Jenny begins to question her role as Wilkie's support act and considers breaking free from her long-standing responsibilities. With its witty observations and gentle subversiveness, The Last Resort is a thought-provoking exploration of love, liberation, and the complexities of relationships.
