Items related to The Last Rose of Summer
- In the summer of 1929, three strong-willed women, related by marriage, gather under one roof: widowed matriarch Maude Hennesey, whose belief in old-fashioned ways is shared by the ladies of her club; her pretty, spoiled daughter Rachel; and daughter-in-law Marie, who’s been forced by her husband, Harry, to uproot their two small children and take up residence in his family’s East Texan home until economic circumstances improve. As the summer wears on, storms gather as a child’s unnatural death sends shock waves throughout the community. Schulz not only examines the conflicts within the family, but the racial, gender and religious tensions of small-town Bellemont. Things come to a head when a black war hero, Julius, is accused of murder: surprising truths about these three women are revealed. In the calm after the storm, each woman learns to live her life on her own terms.
