Winter seas separate the lovers but the island’s evacuation the following summer promises to reunite them – until tragedy strikes.
Heartbroken and needing to support her family on the mainland, a chance meeting offers hope. Soon Flora is the toast of glamorous Paris; fame and fortune are hers for the taking. But at a high price.

Critics Review
-
A lovely novel that 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

This sweeping love story gripped us from the start, so we can’t wait for the next in the series. Best historical romance
Independent on The Last Summer
-
A dramatic start to a gripping new series set on the Scottish island of St Kilda. The Last Summer is meticulously researched and beautifully told by one of our most prolific and talented writers. It contains all the ingredients of a wonderfully satisfying read: love, passion, drama, violence, menace and peril, and characters you fall in love with – and some you hate! Happily, this is the start of a series so your longing for more will be fulfilled
