What They're Saying
Critics Review
The Last is a brilliantly executed novel, and the questions Jameson poses-who will be with you at the end of the world, and what kind of person will you be?-are as haunting as the plot itself. This is a chilling and extraordinary book – Emily St John Mandel, author of ‘Station Eleven’Dark, original, compelling – CJ Tudor, author of The Chalk ManIt is Jameson’s portrayal both imaginative and plausible, of how her characters adapt to their new life that makes her novel such compulsive reading * Daily Telegraph *
A clever, original, scarily plausible white-knuckle read
– Erin Kelly, bestselling author of ‘He Said, She Said’A brilliantly imagined tale of suspicion, betrayal and survival in a world on the brink of extinction. One of those books that you can’t stop reading - but don’t want to end – TM Logan, bestselling author of ‘Lies’Stephen King meets Agatha Christie, in this fantastic and highly original novel that I’ll be recommending to readers for a long time to come. I loved every second of it! This is the book of 2019 – Luca Veste, author of ‘The Bone Keeper’Chillingly nightmarish - a gripping read
– Sophia Tobin, author of ‘The Silversmith’s Wife’Gripping, and thoroughly and frighteningly believable. I could not put this book down – Jennie Melamed, author of ‘Gather the Daughters’Jameson does an excellent job of exploring what nuclear war would mean for us … exploring what it would mean to live in a place where consequences no longer existed. * Observer *We defy you to pick up The Last and put it back down * Stylist *About The Author
