Summary "The Last Ditch" by Will Levington Comfort is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces Romney, an American expatriate navigating life in China, who becomes captivated by Moira Kelvin, a complex and intriguing woman coping with loss and searching for redemption. Their initial encounter on a river steamer sets the stage for a blend of personal struggle and explorations of deep emotional connections against the backdrop of a richly described foreign landscape. The opening portion of the book establishes strong character dynamics, particularly through the interaction between Romney and Moira, as they discuss their pasts and desires while aboard the steamer. Moira’s haunting memories of her deceased child and husband, combined with her longing for companionship, contrast sharply with Romney's impressions of her beauty and strength. As they converse, both characters are drawn into a tense emotional landscape, revealing their vulnerabilities while tackling themes of loss, yearning, and existential longing. The narrative unfolds in settings that emphasize cultural richness and the complexity of human relationships, indicating the direction in which their connection may evolve.
