Summary: Elegance in Word
Comment: Kate O'Brien is a masterful storyteller. I read "The Last Of Summer" without much expectation, as I was on break from writing a novel of my own. I was really surprised at what I found. Her details of the era, rich with history and emotion are crisply described, and only draw you further into the complex story of Angele, a beautiful young actress who returns to her old Irish home to reclaim her past. In doing just that, she uncovers many secrets which lead to her own Father's estrangement from her Uncle and his Family. When her cousin begins having feelings for her, which O'Brien bravely endears, (a hint of her being an author well beyond her time) his decision to go off into the beginning of World War I are thwarted by an ever growing love for this mysterious cousin. I highly suggest giving this a read. Not only is it beautiful in atmosphere and context, but riveting and highly sensual. A work from an Author who does not bow to tradition. This is a triumph.
