Falling in love could be the biggest risk of all . . .
A captivating tale of love and loss, set on the wild coast of Ireland and in glamorous 1960s London. From Lucinda Riley, the internationally bestselling author of the Seven Sisters series.
‘I adored it’ – Santa Montefiore, author of Shadows in the Moonlight
When Sorcha O’Donovan encounters struggling musician Con Daly – the strikingly handsome outcast in their small village on West Cork’s windswept coastline – her days will never be the same.
Con strikes gold with rock band The Fishermen in London, but their lives change beyond recognition as the dark side of fame rears its head and secrets from the past threaten to destroy everything he has worked for.
Twenty years later, The Fishermen agree to re-form for the Music for Life charity concert at Wembley Stadium. But Con has been missing for more than a decade. There’s only one person who can find out what happened; only one person who knows how vital it is to uncover the truth.
Because should Con Daly reappear before the facts emerge, then history could repeat itself with even more tragic consequences . . .
‘I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough’ – Karen Swan, author of The Stolen Hours
Lucinda Riley wrote The Last Love Song as Lucinda Edmonds, now reworked and revived by Harry Whittaker, Lucinda’s son and co-author of Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt.
Critics Review
-
I was gripped and my heart broke but I fell in love anyway. A glorious story of love and loss. Utterly exquisite
Emma Cowell, author of The Island Love Song
-
The Last Love Song feels like the discovery of a lost treasure . . . It’s simply sublime. It has all the qualities we adore in Lucinda’s writing: emotional depth, complex characters, surprises, twists and turns, and above all love. She writes about love so tenderly. I adored it because it’s another brilliant Riley novel, but I adored it also because it feels like a gift . . . A last smile, a kiss, and poignant good-bye
Santa Montefiore, author of Shadows in the Moonlight

The Last Love Song had me hooked from the very first page. Brilliantly-drawn family dynamics and a magnetic love story meant I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough. This story is definitive Lucinda Riley and a real treat for all her fans
