A lovely novel which I hugely enjoyed. I envy Karen Swan's skill to evoke a landscape and a very different past so effortlessly. The love story was all that one would wish and the characters are terrific. -- Elizabeth Buchan, author of <i>Against Her Nature</i> This sweeping love story gripped us from the start . . . Best historical romance. -- <i>Independent</i> on <i>The Last Summer</i> It contains all the ingredients of a wonderfully satisfying read: love, passion, drama, violence, menace and peril, and characters you fall in love with. -- Santa Montefiore, author of <i>Flappy Investigates</i> on <i>The Last Summer</i>
