"An extraordinary novel... as beautiful and as wrenching as anything I've ever read" Emily St. John Mandel

"An adventure of a wilder sort" Vogue US

A dark past. An impossible journey. The will to survive.

How far you would you go for love? Franny Stone is determined to go to the end of the earth, following the last of the Arctic terns on what may be their final migration to Antarctica.

As animal populations plummet and commercial fishing faces prohibition, Franny talks her way onto one of the few remaining boats heading south. But as she and the eccentric crew travel further from shore and safety, the dark secrets of Franny's life begin to unspool. A daughter's yearning search for her mother. An impulsive, passionate marriage. A shocking crime. Haunted by love and violence, Franny must confront what she is really running towards - and from.

The Last Migration is a wild, gripping and deeply moving novel from a brilliant young writer. From the west coast of Ireland to Australia and remote Greenland, through crashing Atlantic swells to the bottom of the world, this is an ode to the wild places and creatures now threatened, and an epic story of the possibility of hope against all odds.

"Gripping, tender and beautifully done. This novel is as intimate as it is urgent-you emerge thrilled and dazed, but also galvanized to save the planet" Anna Funder

"This keening lament of an adventure is compelling" Observer

5.0 out of 5 stars Moving and Well Told

A beautifully written story that was very moving. Oddly set in the future which was not initially very clear but enjoyed it nonetheless

5.0 out of 5 stars Mesmerising!
Reviewed in Australia on August 31, 2020

I loved this so much. Reading felt like being submerged underwater with all the intensity and beauty that that can afford - but still being able to breathe most of the time. There were moments when I needed to catch my breath - and put the book aside - but then it drew me back. The story sounds so sad and bleak but it is actually so joyous and illuminating - for too many reasons to list here. Take the plunge.

This is a great story about love, human fraility and following your calling in life. Where there's life there's hope.

5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't put it down
Reviewed in Australia on December 1, 2020

What a read, every turn a different path to follow and so thought provoked. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and diving into the disaster that climate change could ensue along with the heart felt elements of mental health, love, loss and pure passions. I got through it quickly and have purchased several as gift.
