Smart, sexy, and infinitely charming, Rhode Island Blues tells the story of Sophia Moore, a loveless and guarded thirty-four-year-old film editor in London who believes that her only living relative is her stormy and wild grandmother Felicity. Troubled by her mother's long-ago suicide and her father's abandonment, Sophia overworks, incessantly contemplates her past, and continues a flat sexual affair with the famous director of her latest film. But when she travels to Rhode Island to help Felicity settle into a retirement center, she begins to unravel mysteries about her family history while Felicity learns to gamble, falls in love, and uncovers the truth about the center's evil nurse Dawn. A hilarious tale of family secrets, nursing-home high jinks, and late-life love, Rhode Island Blues is Fay Weldon at her witty best.

About the Author:
Fay Weldon was born and raised in New Zealand. Her novels and short stories best-sell around the world and wherever they go are awarded great critical acclaim. Her film and TV work wins enthusiastic viewers by the million, worldwide.
From AudioFile:
Weldon's novel moves seamlessly from irony to poignancy and back without ever slipping into sentimentality. What keeps it afloat is the specificity and acuity of her perceptions. Sophia, a successful English film editor, yearns for the family connections denied her by the insanity and suicide of her mother. What she has is her grandmother, Felicity, a willful octogenarian with much tragedy in her past who is still intent on squeezing all the enjoyment she can out of life. Jan Francis captures the keen intelligence and humor of both women and perfectly handles the accents on both sides of the Atlantic. It's a smart, witty performance throughout.
