Synopsis

“Compelling, evocative, shocking and true, The Last Letter is a wonderful debut from Bethan Marshall.”
Michael Bracewell
British writer and novelist

The Last Letter is a fascinating historical novel . . . A delightful read!”
Rebecca Pippert
Author and international speaker


The early 1900s was a time of change and chaos in Ireland—a time when the suffragist movement was stirring up women to fight for their rights and when the Protestants and Catholics were set against each other.
When Fred, a Protestant, falls in love with Niamh, a devout Catholic, he finds himself exiled to America. Determined to find a place where everyone is accepted and Protestants and Catholics can marry, Fred works to save money for Niamh’s own passage to America to join him.
While Niamh waits for the day she can afford to join her love, she joins the suffragists, and the one thing that keeps her holding onto hope are the letters she receives from Fred through his sister, Hilda.
Based on the true love letters the author found in her family’s belongings, this twentieth century Romeo and Juliet will have you rooting for an unlikely marriage and longing to read one more letter.
