About this listen

A mysterious letter from Spain. A surprising new beginning...

Fall in love this summer with Her Last Promise, a gripping, heart-rending story of how hope can blossom in the ruins of tragedy and of the redeeming power of love. From number one best-selling author Kathryn Hughes.

Tara Richards was just a girl when she lost her mother. Years later, when Tara receives a letter from a London solicitor, its contents shake her to the core. Someone has left her a key to a safe deposit box.

In the box lies an object that will change everything Tara thought she knew and lead her on a journey to deepest Spain in search of the answers that have haunted her for 40 years.

Violet Skye regrets her decision to travel abroad leaving her young daughter behind. As the sun dips below the mountains, she reminds herself she is doing this for their future. Tonight, 4th June 1978, will be the start of a new life for them. This night will indeed change Violet's destiny, in the most unexpected of ways....

Beautiful story and relatable characters which were portrayed perfectly by Rachel Atkins. I always feel so sentimental when I read/listen to Kathryn's books and this one hasnt disappointed just as expected. The chapters flowed really well and the story kept me gripped right to the end. Can't wait for the next one now 😀

Her last Promise

This story kept me interested. I liked the fact there were different threads that all came together. I will definitely list to other books by Kathryn Hughes Although some storylines were a bit predictable, this was counterbalanced by a great number of unexpected twists and turns.
I will certainly read/listen to other books by Kathryn Hughes, and the narrator was very good.

Enjoyable Story

I loved this book and was absolutely hooked listening to it. The narration was excellent - great distinction between characters. The story moved at a good pace. My only criticism is that the ending felt a little rushed and could have done with a little more explanation, but it did not hugely impact on my enjoyment of the story and I can’t wait to read/listen to more from this author. Would thoroughly recommend if you like time-hop stories - this went back and forth from 1978 - 2018.

Excellent - full of twists and turns!

Nice, easy listening.
I fell asleep listening every night and so it took me ages to finish the book.
Not that it was in the least bit boring, I think it was such easy listening that my mind didn’t wonder on to other thoughts that may of usually kept me awake.

Kathryn Hughes’s books are ‘unputdownable’ right until the end, whether as written or audio form.
The tragedies of love lost and found be it romantic or familial was something anyone can relate to.
I look forward to reading more of Kathryn’s works,

A great story teller covering two countries
