Smart, sexy, and infinitely charming, Rhode Island Blues tells the
story of Sophia Moore, a loveless and guarded thirty-four-year-old
film editor in London who believes that her only living relative is
her stormy and wild grandmother Felicity. Troubled by her mother's
long-ago suicide and her father's abandonment, Sophia overworks,
incessantly contemplates her past, and continues a flat sexual
affair with the famous director of her latest film. But when she
travels to Rhode Island to help Felicity settle into a retirement
center, she begins to unravel mysteries about her family history
while Felicity learns to gamble, falls in love, and uncovers the
truth about the center's evil nurse Dawn. A hilarious tale of
family secrets, nursing-home high jinks, and late-life love, Rhode
Island Blues is Fay Weldon at her witty best. ."..Fay Weldon
transports her wry wit, trenchant observational powers, and
sublimely snappy prose to this side of the Atlantic...." -- Elle
"Wry and witty, Weldon smartly skewers retirement homes, the film
industry, and the deceptive elasticity of family ties." --
Entertainment Weekly "Energetic.... Weldon] possesses a wry wisdom
about mating behavior." -- The New York Times Book Review "Smart
and funny, Weldon's boldly plotted and finely crafted tale deftly
satirizes our infinite capacity for self-delusion." --
