Robert Jamison is Celia’s brother and Evelyn’s seventh, and final, husband. He agrees to move to Spain with Celia, Evelyn, and Connor. Though Evelyn allows him to have as many romantic entanglements as he wants, he bonds with Connor and becomes a father figure and mentor to her. He’s wracked with grief when Celia dies, lying down to weep beside Evelyn instead of attempting to comfort her. Evelyn’s marriage to Robert allows her to inherit Celia’s money and belongings after he dies.

Chapter 59 Quotes
Robert always claimed that he married me because he would do anything for Celia. But I think he did it, in at least some small part, because it gave him a chance to have a family. He was never going to settle down with one woman. And Spanish women proved to be just as enchanted by him as American ones had been. But this system, this family, was one he could be a part of, and I think he knew that when he signed up.
