Inspired by an incredible true story, this is an unforgettable novel about love, loss and one impossible choice

London, 1940

When nurse Elsie offers to send a reassuring letter to the family of a patient, she has an idea. She begins a book of last letters: messages to be sent on to wounded soldiers’ loved ones should the very worst come to pass, so that no one is left without a final goodbye.

But one message will change Elsie’s life forever. When a patient makes a devastating request, can Elsie find the strength to do the unthinkable?

London, present day

Stephanie has a lot of people she’d like to speak to: her estranged brother, to whom her last words were in anger; her nan, whose dementia means she is only occasionally lucid enough to talk.

When she discovers a book of wartime letters, Stephanie realises the importance of our final words – and uncovers the story of a secret love, a desperate choice, and the unimaginable courage of the woman behind it all…

A moving and compelling historical fiction novel from the author of The Girl in the Picture, perfect for fans of The Nightingale and The Keeper of Happy Endings.

‘Heart-breaking but so uplifting – Kerry really is a hugely talented voice’ Nicola Cornick, author of The Forgotten Sister
