Her father can make a woman feel chosen with the lift of a hand. Her mother can fill a room at the piano and still leave a child waiting above the hotel under the eaves. Claire learns early to be useful, grateful, amusing, and good enough not to be left behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut families keep their own accounting. A twin brother's hand becomes safety. Boarding schools become home. Money crosses borders more easily than tenderness. And decades later, when Claire is called back to the Mediterranean as her mother is dying, one final request forces her to decide what love can mean when forgiveness is neither simple nor required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Last Room Over the Sea is a darkly funny, intimate novel about abandonment, family mythology, the cost of being good, and the freedom to care without surrendering yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gloria Larson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798997927103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Annaley Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/04\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.35d","brand":"Gloria Larson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50546060001535,"sku":"9798997927103","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-last-room-over-the-gloria-larson-9798997927103","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
