Love at Last Sight is a fierce novel about marital abuse, written
for wives, girlfriends, mothers, and all women who have experienced
trauma in their relationships. Rudan writes with conviction and
strength, drawing upon her own personal experiences to create a
book with powerful insight. Like Rudan's previous fiction, Love at
Last Sight moves with a strident feminist voice, and will
undoubtedly leave its mark upon any reader sympathetic to Rudan's
story.
At the center of this novel is the story of a daughter looking
after her mother, who's been admitted to a nursing home after a
stroke landed her in the hospital. All her mother wants is pain
medicine and to go home. This delicate situation serves as a
jumping-off point for Rudan to wander freely through memories of
her parents, her husband, friends, and a daughter of her own. Out
of these elements, Rudan weaves together an unsentimental,
unflinching story about the difficult love that exists between
parents and children, the inability of people ever to say the right
thing, the grotesque-yet universal-process of growing old, and the
perverse mysteries of love and death.
