The Last Poem

De: Courtney Peppernell

A moving and heart-rending debut about a grieving woman who moves to a charming small town and finds healing, friendship and love, from multi-million-copy bestselling poet Courtney Peppernell.

Wren Paisley is living her dream: she’s a successful author and poet, she adores the New York brownstone she calls home and, most importantly, she’s about to marry the love of her life. But everything changes when her fiancée, Lucy, dies in a tragic car crash that leaves a young bystander paralysed. Unable to escape the media frenzy, Wren goes on a road trip and winds up staying in the charming small town of Everston, Colorado.

It feels fortuitous when she learns that the local library holds a weekly grief support group that reads, of all things, poetry. Hesitantly, she joins, and slowly begins to build community with the other members, including Henry, a librarian mourning the loss of his brother; Emerson, a young woman recovering from a life-altering car accident; and Olivia, a complicated reporter who gives Wren butterflies. Finally, she can breathe again, and maybe even love again.

But how long can Wren keep her old life in the rear-view? Will she be able to build a new life in Everston, or will it all come crashing down when old truths come to light?
