`I can’t live with guilt, and I have felt guilty enough to die . . .’
Writer Christine Hall’s own loving relationships and empathetic intelligence make her the perfect confidante for a group of friends: architect Eric Aveling – whose wife Lois is dying, Junius Evans, Aveling’s flamboyant business partner, and, above all, eccentric, impulsive Celia Baird. When death forces a realignment of relationships within the group even the perceptive Christine is not prepared for the final outcome.
Moving between London and a south coast seaside town, The Last Resort is a sensitive and vividly human exploration of the hidden side of marriage, where dark undercurrents of duty, guilt, secrecy and loneliness can all play a part in deviating the course of love and influencing the choices that life thrusts upon us.
