Darling Clementine is the story of Samantha, a poetess determined to transform her sex life into a meditation: a pathway to enlightenment. Along for the ride is her brand new husband, Arthur Clementine, a wealthy, calm, but crypto-zany assistant district attorney for New York County. The novel begins with their meeting and works its way backward and forward. In the past, a series of darkening love affairs lead Sam to a suicide attempt and a breakdown. Now, Samantha works on a suicide hotline and uses her marriage in a search for radical sanity, a sort of road show of Love’s Body. Along the way, she reconciles polymorphous perversity with housework; tries to talk one of William Blake’s deities out of killing himself—or someone else; and watches, with everyone else, as the world moves toward the ever popular brink of destruction. Darling Clementine is an effervescent combination of Henry Miller and P.G Woodhouse, in a character as daffy and enchanting as Truman Capote’s Holly Golightly was in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

From Publishers Weekly In this short, ironically humorous novel told in the first person, Klavan (Face of the Earth) skillfully depicts poet Samantha Bradford, who must grapple with her troubled past before looking ahead to the future. Superficially, Samantha has an enviable existence. Born in affluent Greenwich, Conn., she graduated from Barnard, then wed wealthy lawyer Arthur Clementine. Nevertheless, distraught at age 24, Samantha seeks help from a Manhattan therapist who resembles "a rumpled gray suit growing out of the chair." With him, she discusses her mother's unkindness, her own suicide attempt and her erotic fantasy about being held captive on a remote island. Samantha also tries other routes to salvation, including Zen, sex and volunteering at a hotline for suicidal people. One pathetic man calling himself God phones Samantha repeatedly; despite their rapport, he poses a potentially lethal threat to her after his sanity gives way. The narrative frequently seems every bit as unfocused and rambling as Samantha's own life, but Klavan's characterizations of his protagonist and her spouse are memorable; they are vulnerable, tender and wonderfully open about their emotions and aspirations.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Enjoyable, thought-provoking book By A Customer Samantha, poet and free spirit, is searching for love and acceptance and thinks she's found it with her newly wed husband, assistant district attorney, Arthur Clementine. Although she's found real love with a husband who truly accepts her the way she is, she still feels an emptiness inside of her that she can't explain. She comes to realize that the love and acceptance she craves is the love that is missing from her relationship with her parents, who have become cold and distant toward her. With the help of her psychiatrist and her conversations with "God" (a troubled caller who she helps at her crisis hot-line job), she's able to confront her issues about her parents and let go of them. You'll especially enjoy this book if you are an Andrew Klavan fan, but a work of warning, it is written in a little different style than some of his more popular books, like True Crime and Don't Say a Word. It's more of a novella than a full-length novel. The book is told from Samantha's point of view and because she is a poet she tends to think in analogies and metaphors. This made it a little too deep and difficult for me to follow at times. Andrew Klavan describes the main characters in this book very vividly. They are kooky, but likable, which made this an enjoyable, thought-provoking book.
