“An astounding achievement.” —Megha Majumdar, bestselling author of A Burning
“Her best book yet.” —Paul Yoon, award-winning author of Run Me to Earth
From the bestselling author of Mary Coin comes a rich family saga set in midcentury America centered on two fierce and competitive matriarchs whose intertwined lives reflect the complexities of family, tradition, and personal ambition, told with “Silver’s signature combination of toughness and grace” (Laird Hunt, bestselling author of Zorrie).
Helene Simonauer and Evelyn Turner are two formidable women whose paths cross when their children marry. Both women are sharp, cunning, and unwavering in their conflicting beliefs about marriage, responsibility, and family and, most pressingly, their efforts to vie for the love of their shared granddaughter.
Weaving together the lives of Helene and Evelyn—from their vastly different childhoods through the pivotal events that define them—At Last paints a vivid portrait of the American Midwest, capturing the essence of a time and place where societal norms and personal aspirations often clashed. Both intimate and expansive while capturing the complexities of ambition and love with humor and insight, At Last is a testament to what happens when an unintended, even unwanted relationship turns out to be a central one that defines a life.
