The Last Girl by Stephan Collishaw
A powerful and moving story of unrequited love and dark secrets, set in Eastern Europe and reminiscent of Rachel Seiffert and Sebastian Faulks.
Tense, vivid, effortlessly real.. a novel of dramatic width and ambition [which] encompasses passion, morality, history and art * Julie Myerson, Guardian *
Wonderful ... that rare novel which no-one, having once read, will be able to forget * Alan Sillitoe *
Haunting ... has an extraordinary ring of authenticity... fascinating * Washington Times *
I liked this novel very much. It has energy and it has assurance, and the story is really powerful. Stephan Collishaw has a great gift for showing the dailiness of terrible times ... This sense of lived reality really touches one's imagination. The betrayals and compromises which these characters have to negotiate feel so intimate. * Helen Dunmore *
