520 $aLike a loyal Victorian wife, Jenny has devoted her life to her much older husband, the famous writer and naturalist Wilkie Walker, bringing up their children and researching and editing his best-selling books. But this year, as winter approaches, Wilkie is increasingly depressed and withdrawn. At her wits' end, Jenny persuades him to visit Key West - the Last Resort.
520 8 $aBut Key West is not called the Last Resort for nothing. Lives can turn upside down here, and even short-term visitors can have experiences they never imagined. Within weeks of their arrival, Jenny not only has a part-time job but is becoming involved with assorted local characters, including Gerry, an ex-beatnik poet, and Lee, the dramatically attractive manager of a women-only guest house.
520 8 $aWilkie, meanwhile, is planning his own "accidental" death by drowning - a task that turns out to be more difficult than he thought - and trying to avoid the attentions of a breathless young female fan.
