'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. 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
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 '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 'A delicious romantic tale of wild
1930s Scotland . . . perfect for everyone dreaming of summer' -
