Description
Falling in love could be the biggest risk of all . . .
A captivating tale of love and loss, set on the wild coast of Ireland and in glamorous 1960s London. From Lucinda Riley, the internationally bestselling author of the Seven Sisters series.
'I adored it' - Santa Montefiore, author of Shadows in the Moonlight
When Sorcha O'Donovan encounters struggling musician Con Daly - the strikingly handsome outcast in their small village on West Cork's windswept coastline - her days will never be the same.
Con strikes gold with rock band The Fishermen in London, but their lives change beyond recognition as the dark side of fame rears its head and secrets from the past threaten to destroy everything he has worked for.
Twenty years later, The Fishermen agree to re-form for the Music for Life charity concert at Wembley Stadium. But Con has been missing for more than a decade. There's only one person who can find out what happened; only one person who knows how vital it is to uncover the truth.
Because should Con Daly reappear before the facts emerge, then history could repeat itself with even more tragic consequences . . .
'I couldn't turn the pages fast enough' - Karen Swan, author of The Stolen Hours
Lucinda Riley wrote The Last Love Song as Lucinda Edmonds, now reworked and revived by Harry Whittaker, Lucinda's son and co-author of Atlas: The Story of Pa Salt.

Lucinda Riley was born in 1965 in Ireland and, after an early career as an actress in film, theatre and television, wrote her first novel aged twenty-four. Her books have been translated into thirty-seven languages and continue to strike an emotional chord with cultures all around the world. The Seven Sisters series in particular has become a global phenomenon, inspiring its own genre.
Her books have been nominated for numerous awards, including the Italian Bancarella Prize, the Lovely Books Award in Germany and the Romantic Novel of the Year Award. She has received the Dutch Platinum Award for sales over 300,000 copies for a single novel in one year multiple times - a prize previously won by J. K. Rowling for Harry Potter.
In collaboration with her son Harry Whittaker, she also devised the Guardian Angels series of books for children.
Though she brought up her four children mostly in Norfolk, England, in 2015 she fulfilled her dream of buying a remote farmhouse in West Cork, Ireland, which she always felt was her spiritual home, and this was where her last five books were written.
Lucinda was diagnosed with cancer in 2017 and died on 11 June 2021, surrounded by her family.
