THE LAST WAVE - Gillian Best

~ Trade Paperback

An intergenerational family saga spanning six decades, a feminist story, and a striking literary debut, The Last Wave follows one woman's relationship with the sea, and how it proves to be both an empowering force and a liberating escape from the trappings of domesticity and a family buffeted by illness, intolerance, anger, failure, and regret.  

Offering impeccably well-developed characters, The Last Wave is an excellent choice for fans of Rachel Joyce's The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry and/or Shelby Van Pelt's Remarkably Bright Creatures.

"[The Last Wave is] literary and lucid, sketching out a compelling character through six decades worth of angst and illness." -- Toronto Life
