Thank you to Netgalley, William Morrow, and HarperAudio for an advance audio edition of this book for review. All opinions are my own.
This book is quiet. It is warm, slow, and peaceful. It is a book with such a clear picture of grief, family, and healing. The Last Goodbye speaks so truthfully about the power and importance of human connection.
Fiona Lucas creates the loveliest characters. Anna and Brody are both healing from loss of loved ones, and trying to recraft their lives after loss. Lucas's writing so beautifully captures grief in this novel. She speaks to the non-linear path that people take to healing. She speaks to how crucial other people are to the healing process.
The other aspect of this book that has stuck with me is the careful and considerate way that mental heath is presented in this book. Anxiety, depression, agoraphobia are all discussed in a careful and dignified way.
Antonia Beamish is a phenomenal narrator for this book. Her voice is warm and soothing in a way that matches the novel perfectly.
I cannot recommend this book enough. Its beautiful- It will make you cry and stick in your heart. If you are like me, you won't be able to stop thinking about this book.
