The Last Migration
The Last Migration | Charlotte McConaghy
8 posts | 6 read | 3 to read
An extraordinary novel... as beautiful and as wrenching as anything Ive ever read Emily St. John Mandel A dark past. An impossible journey. The will to survive. How far would you go for love? Franny Stone is determined to go to the end of the earth, following the last of the Arctic terns on what may be their final migration to Antarctica. As animal populations plummet and commercial fishing faces prohibition, Franny talks her way onto one of the few remaining boats heading south. But as she and the eccentric crew travel further from shore and safety, the dark secrets of Frannys life begin to unspool. A daughters yearning search for her mother. An impulsive, passionate marriage. A shocking crime. Haunted by love and violence, Franny must confront what she is really running towards and from. The Last Migration is a wild, gripping and deeply moving novel from a brilliant young writer. From the west coast of Ireland to Australia and remote Greenland, through crashing Atlantic swells to the bottom of the world, this is an ode to the wild places and creatures now threatened, and an epic story of the possibility of hope against all odds.

Beautiful prose. I had to pause several times while reading, to allow the loveliness of her words to sit within me.

I really enjoyed this. It‘s set in a possible near future where all birds and wild animals are almost extinct. It is cleverly written with a main character whose own life and sometimes self destructive behaviour kind of parallels the impending climate disaster the world faces.

So good! I sorta picked what was going to happen at the end but it didn't matter because it's such a good story! The scary thing though is I can actually see this happening......
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you, #NetGalley for this #ARC.

i don't think I can write a review for this where I can dummy describe what I feel for this book. Slow burn but absolutely brilliant.

Only quiet is a different beast when it finds you. A perfect kind of thing until you have it and it turns on you.

This was a good book, the speculative climate fiction element was interesting. The main character was very complicated ⭐⭐⭐.5

WanderingBookaneer This cover is far more revealing than mine. 4y
