The Last Song of Winter is a captivating and romantic tale set off the coast of Wales between the 1940s and the present day. Written by the author of The Winter Children, this book is completely unputdownable and will keep you gripped until the very end. Lisa Jewell, author of None of This is True, describes it as a book to lose yourself in as nights draw in, while Gill Paul, author of Scandalous Women, calls it a place to recover from lost love. Set on the island of St Elfwy, off the coast of Pembrokeshire, the story follows Veronica Mindenhall, a young woman who falls in love with unattainable men like handsome film star Jack Bannock. St Elfwy becomes her retreat, a refuge from war and a place to recover from lost love. However, even peaceful St Elfwy cannot prevent tragedy and heartbreak. When Romy arrives on St Elfwy, now a bird sanctuary and retreat, she only has the enigmatic warden for company. As she devotes herself to understanding the lure of this beautiful, haunting place, she is drawn into the past and the tale of Veronica Mindenhall. The island hides stories of betrayal and loss, as well as redemption, but it is a perilous path to discover its secrets. Praise for Lulu Taylor's writing includes "A beautifully written, emotionally compelling story" from the Daily Mail, "Utterly compelling. A really excellent winter's story" from Lucy Diamond, author of Anything Could Happen, and "A hugely enjoyable, escapist treat" from the Daily Mirror.
