A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A man has lived on his own beside a wild, unforgiving coastline for many years. His companions are the birds, the land and the sea. From a choice made long ago, he keeps himself separate from the world of people, and he gains a fierce pleasure from his environment. His solitude is broken by his discovery, one early morning on the flat sands of a low tide, of a child washed up on the beach, but still alive. "The Last Good Man" is a novel of redemption, the story of a man experiencing our world as though for the first time. Patience Swift creates a powerful story set within the unforgettable landscapes of the Cornish coastline.

Revue de presse

"Patience Swift clearly has an intimate knowledge and love of the Cornish coastline and its unique type of village community, which feature so vividly in this charming and surreal tale of human misfits...a keen eye for descriptive detail and a talent for emotional understatement, building to a heartwrenching climax. A great debut." --Western Morning News

"A searing story of love, loneliness and tragedy...powerful plotline and stark imagery...Patience's descriptions are deeply evocative of the beautiful yet often savage coastal landscapes." --Cornwall Today
