Description

With 'tension [that] grips like a vice' [The Independent], The Last Pier is a gripping drama of dark family secrets in rural England from the author of Brixton Beach, Bone China and Mosquito. 'Tearne charts the patterns of love and loss with beautiful prose' Sunday TimesDespite the dark clouds of war looming on the horizon, thirteen-year-old Cecily's head is full of first love, ice cream and sibling rivalry.

She looks constantly to her impossibly beautiful elder sister, Rose, with a mixture of envy and admiration.

Desperately curious about Rose's secrets, and those of all the adults around her, Cecily eavesdrops at every opportunity that summer: with dire consequences.

For Cecily's actions one fateful night at the outbreak of the Second World War will ultimately tear her family apart and echo across the generations.

It is not until many years later that a grown-up Cecily can return to her childhood home and unravel the remaining family secrets. And finally lay some ghosts to rest.
