Book Description
A sudden departure. A story decades in the making.
The chaotic but happy equilibrium of the Nightingale family is thrown into disarray when Cecily―whose children can’t remember her ever being remotely spontaneous―disappears to a Greek island with no warning or explanation.
Her reasons for doing something so out of character are a total mystery to her three daughters, high-powered executive Felicity, unfulfilled GP Julia and organised mother-of-five Lily. What connection could she possibly have with Kefalonia?
But Cecily has gone to continue a story she thought ended decades ago―one that could have a huge impact on her family. And when she returns, she’ll have to tell them the truth.
Will Cecily be able to hold her family together once she reveals her big secret? And might she discover that she’s not the only one with a story to tell?
Editorial Reviews
Review
“
The Last Piece is a beautifully crafted, insightful tale about family and the cracks below the surface of seemingly perfect lives. Clark’s characters, with their various secrets and flaws, leap off the page. A most enjoyable and riveting read.” ―S.D. Robertson, author of My Sister’s Lies and Time to Say Goodbye“I couldn’t resist going on this journey with the Nightingale family. With emotion on every page and mystery swirling around each character,
The Last Piece explores how the past can be as unpredictable as the future. I raced through this life-affirming book, which left me buoyed with the promise of second chances.” ―Jo Furniss, author of The Last to KnowAbout the Author
Imogen Clark lives in Yorkshire, England, with her husband and children. Her first burning ambition was to be a solicitor, and so she read law at Manchester University and then worked for many years at a commercial law firm. After leaving her legal career behind to care for her four children, Imogen turned to her second love―books. She returned to university, studying part-time while the children were at school, and was awarded a BA in English literature with First Class Honours.
Her first three novels, Postcards from a Stranger, The Thing about Clare and Where the Story Starts, all reached the Number 1 spot in the UK Kindle charts, and her books have also been Number 1 in Australia and Germany. She has been shortlisted for the Contemporary Romantic Novel Award 2020. She is also the author of a Christmas novella, Postcards at Christmas, which is a sequel to Postcards from a Stranger.
Imogen loves sunshine and travel, and longs to live by the sea someday.
