Brett had been in love with Charlie from the first day she laid eyes on him in college. When Charlie is brutally murdered, Brett is devastated. But, if she is honest with herself, their marriage had been hanging by a thread for quite some time - especially after Charlie had an affair. The recent reappearance in their lives of his unstable younger brother, Eli, further strained their relationship until Brett, ever steadfast in her devotion to Charlie, began to question her own commitment in the days leading up to his death.
Though all clues point to Eli, who's been in and out of psychiatric hospitals for years, any number of people might have been driven to slit the throat of Charlie Moss - a handsome, charismatic man who unwittingly damaged almost every life he touched. Now, looking back on their lives together, Brett is determined to understand how such a tragedy could have happened - and whether she was somehow complicit.
Set against the lush yet desolate autumn beauty of Cape Cod, The Last September is a riveting emotional puzzle. Award-winning author Nina de Gramont takes listeners inside the psyche of a woman facing down the meaning of love and loyalty in a mesmerizing novel that is as moving as it is unpredictable.

7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Engaging By 2LZ Thank you librarything.com for an advanced copy of The Last September by Nina De Gramont in return for my honest review.The Last September is a hypnotic story that draws the reader in from the very first page. It is a beautifully written novel addressing emotional topics such as marriage, family, infidelity, mental illness, and love. This is a story about Brett, Charlie and Eli. Brett and Eli were best friends in college. Eli and Charlie are brothers, Charlie and Brett are married. There is a long history connecting these characters, each having a very interesting back story. They love and hurt one another, but they are also passionately protective. Sadly, Eli's cyclical mental deterioration, hospitalization, stabilization and eventual release is taking its toll on the family dynamic. When Charlie is found brutally and viciously bludgeoned to death at his family's Cape Cod home, erratic, incoherent Eli, present at the scene, is the likely suspect.Along with unraveling what happened to Charlie, there is a psychological component of what remains in the aftermath of such a tragedy when the pieces need to be picked up and life must move forward. Although it wasn't much of a mystery, the book was very engaging.My only issues with the book were, and I feel this way about the majority of the books that I read, that it was slightly too long and the ending was not as satisfying as I would have liked. When I become invested in a story that seems to be building to a dramatic conclusion, I want a compelling confrontation not a swift resolution. But, that being said, I would definitely recommend the novel. It is an intelligent, thought-provoking read.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Well-written. Strong sense of place. By Penny I liked this book, but I didn't love it. I stayed with it and I did look forward to reading it each evening, but I grew impatient with the heroine. She had a "deer in the headlights" quality. But in order to be frustrated by her choices, I must have identified with her and cared about her. On a minor point, the heroine's baby daughter Sarah's behavior was not described in an age-appropriate or consistent way. I often paused to question if a child so young was really capable of doing whatever it was that little Sarah had just done or said. Being a mom, the answer was usually NO. That's not a huge problem, but it was a bit of an interruption to the narrative drive. One character was too conveniently dispatched and the story could have been richer had that not been the case.On a positive note, the author can WRITE. Her descriptions and sense of place were terrific and the dialogue was very natural. I love when an author places the reader solidly in the locale. This was largely set on Cape Cod, a place I know and love. I wish the ending had been more resolved. I drew my own conclusions, but then I thought I sensed where things were heading a few chapters back. What if I was wrong?I do look forward to reading another book by Nina de Gramont.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Author, Nina de Gramont expertly tugs the reader along in this suspenseful page turner. By PostingForNow Author, Nina de Gramont expertly tugs the reader along in this suspenseful page turner.In The Last September, the plot is not too complicated. There are many reverences to Emily Dickinson, that I might not have completely understood. However, overall it was an enjoyable read.I loved the way the author portrayed the main character, Brett, and her total love for her husband, Charlie. In the beginning of the novel we are told Charlie was murdered. He was handsome, charming, and a free sprit. He loved Brett. They married and had a daughter together. Brett doubted her husband loved her as much she loved him.Brett met Charlie through his brother, Eli, her best friend in college, in Boulder, Colorado. Eli had mental illness and was a problem at times.The main part of the story takes place in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.This novel is a quick read (about 300 pages). Once I started reading it, I did not want to put it down.First Paragraph"Because I am a student of literature, I will start my story on the day Charlie died. In other words, I'm beginning in the middle. In medias res, that's the Latin term and though my specialty is American Renaissance poetry, I did have to study classics. Homer, Dante, Milton. They knew about the middle, how all of life revolves around a single moment in time. Everything that comes before leads up to that moment. Everything that comes afterward springs from that moment."Also by Nina de GramontBooks For AdultsOf Cats and Men: StoriesGossip of The StarlingsBooks For Young AdultsEvery Little Thing in the WorldMeet Me at the RiverThe Boy I LoveShe Readsshe-reads-logo-2I would like to thank author, Nina De Gramont, the She Reads Organization and the publisher, Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill, for providing me with this book, free of charge, for review.The Last September by Nina De Gramont is one of She Reads' Books of Fall.
