Love's timeless pull echoed through lifetimes.

Anita Shreve's The Last Time They Met tells a story of a love affair rekindled after a 26-year gap. The novel is told in reverse chronology, building up to an astonishing revelation at the end. It is a hauntingly beautiful tale of a love that stands the test of time, and a life not lived to its fullest. Recommended for those who enjoy a poignant romance that transcends time and place.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

When Linda Fallon and Thomas Janes meet at a writers' festival in Toronto, it is the first time they have seen each other for twenty-six years. Theirs is a story bound by the irresistible pull of true passion -- a love which begins in Massachusetts in the early 1960s, is rekindled in Kenya in the mid 1970s and which is about to play out its astonishing final episode . . .Written with reverse chronology, Anita Shreve's new novel is a haunting story of mesmerising beauty, with a strong narrative pull that inescapably draws the reader in, and leaves its most stunning revelation until the very last pages. Brilliantly ambitious and powerfully written, THE LAST TIME THEY MET is a tale not so much of life, but of a life not lived.
