About this listen

A mysterious letter from Spain. A surprising new beginning...

Fall in love this summer with Her Last Promise, a gripping, heart-rending story of how hope can blossom in the ruins of tragedy and of the redeeming power of love. From number one best-selling author Kathryn Hughes.

Tara Richards was just a girl when she lost her mother. Years later, when Tara receives a letter from a London solicitor, its contents shake her to the core. Someone has left her a key to a safe deposit box.

In the box lies an object that will change everything Tara thought she knew and lead her on a journey to deepest Spain in search of the answers that have haunted her for 40 years.

Violet Skye regrets her decision to travel abroad leaving her young daughter behind. As the sun dips below the mountains, she reminds herself she is doing this for their future. Tonight, 4th June 1978, will be the start of a new life for them. This night will indeed change Violet's destiny, in the most unexpected of ways....

I loved this book and was absolutely hooked listening to it. The narration was excellent - great distinction between characters. The story moved at a good pace. My only criticism is that the ending felt a little rushed and could have done with a little more explanation, but it did not hugely impact on my enjoyment of the story and I can’t wait to read/listen to more from this author. Would thoroughly recommend if you like time-hop stories - this went back and forth from 1978 - 2018.

Excellent - full of twists and turns!
