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 read this book a few weeks ago straight after reading The Letter trilogy and The Memory Box.
I still can’t stop thinking about it, along with the others mentioned above.
A truly gifted author and narrator. I stayed awake most of the night unable to stop listening!
Please Kathryn Hughes, keep writing more in this vein. I need another one (or should I say ten) to read now.

Absolutely captivating. Please write more books!

Loved the majority of the book and the characters. Read very well by the narrator. Just a bit disappointed by the very end as felt it was rushed and incomplete. Also disappointed by what happens to 2 of the lovely characters. Never did find out what her last promise was which is the title of the book and still don't know who it is referring to! These are the reasons for 4 instead of 5 star review.

An engrossing beautiful story of life, family, love, loss, reconnection. I didn’t want this book to end as I loved it & the characters so much. Beautifully written. I’m looking forward to exploring more of the same author’s & narrator’s books.
The narration was impeccable, loved the different accents & voices, it helped make the characters come alive & easily distinguishable from each other.

Thoroughly enjoyed listening.
