The Last Christmas is the latest novel from award winning author Liz Fenwick.
When a final goodbye in Cornwall is only the beginning…
Meredith Tremayne Russell has spent her life mapping the world, first in intelligence during WWII, and later as a professor. But at ninety-eight with time running out, she faces a journey she cannot chart, a return to her old Cornish home to sell it and to scatter her beloved husband’s ashes.
With her is her twenty-five-year-old granddaughter, Grace, a dyslexic who believes she is a failure in a family of academics. For Grace the trip is a welcome escape from her mother’s demands. But when she unlocks her great-grandmother’s abandoned art studio, she finds a legacy of a passionate artist and a French resistance fighter.
As Meredith relives the frozen December of her 1946 wedding, she understands her final mission isn’t to say goodbye to her old home, but to draw one last map—showing Grace how to navigate a life of her own making.
The Last Christmas is a beautiful and heartfelt read. Full of love, loss, tremendous courage and how to find out who you are. It’s this lovely balance of being both heartbreaking but also heartwarming which is testement to Liz’s strength as a writer.
It’s an utterly delightful and thoughtprovoking christmas read that is perfect for curling up with a nice warm drink in front of the fire.
