One reader's reaction to The Last Good Woman: Intimacy, religion, and mortality - these weighty subjects give journalist-to-be Lewis Worth almost more than he can handle. One senses as the story progresses, that Lewis is not even aware that he is a drowning man in need of rescue...The story begins with Lewis and his live-in girlfriend, Liz, entertaining her family at their little apartment near the college campus where they met... Added into the mix is the transparent distrust with which Gerald, Liz's father, regards Lewis from the start. As the book unfolds, we find ourselves doubting Lewis just as Gerald does. And so we are thrust into a dense psychological examination of what it means to live in 'the land of uncertainty', as Lewis puts it. It is a modern land where promises are only good for as long as they remain unbroken... Luse's prose is a real cut above good, and when he analyzes the inner workings of lust, morbid desire, and infidelity, the pages practically turn themselves.
