Opposites attract in this epic and spellbinding novel, which
transports us from the untamed beauty of St Kilda to the glamour
and intrigues of high society in the 1930s. The Last Summer is the
first book in The Wild Isle series by Sunday Times bestseller Karen
Swan, inspired by the true history of St Kilda and its small island
community. 'The Last Summer is meticulously researched and
beautifully told . . . a wonderfully satisfying read: love,
passion, drama, violence, menace and peril, and characters you fall
in love with . . . Happily, this is the start of a series so your
longing for more will be fulfilled.' - Santa Montefiore Summer on
St Kilda - a wild, remote Scottish island. Two strangers from
drastically different worlds meet . . . Wild-spirited Effie Gillies
has lived all her life on the small island of St Kilda but when
Lord Sholto, heir to the Earl of Dumfries, visits, the attraction
between them is instant. For one glorious week she guides the
handsome young visitor around the isle, falling in love for the
first time - until a storm hits and her world falls apart. Three
months later, St Kilda falls silent as the islanders are evacuated
for a better life on the mainland. With her friends and family
scattered, Effie is surprised to be offered a position working on
the Earl's estate. Sholto is back in her life but their differences
now seem insurmountable, even as the simmering tension between them
grows. And when a shocking discovery is made back on St Kilda, all
her dreams for this bright new life are threatened by the dark
secrets Effie and her friends thought they had left behind. 'The
most exciting, enchanting and evocative story of forbidden love
I've ever read. I truly loved it and am waiting feverishly for the
second instalment' - Cathy Bramley, author of The Summer That
Changed Us 'Powerful writing and a wonderful premise make this a
novel you'll simultaneously want to savour and race through. I
loved it and can't wait for the next in the series!' - Jill
Mansell, author of And Now You're Back 'A delicious romantic tale
of wild 1930s Scotland . . . perfect for everyone dreaming of
summer' - Rachel Hore, author of A Beautiful Spy
