The enthralling new novel from the highly acclaimed author of How To Be A Good Wife.
He walks into the living room and June is dead.
He centres her, checking the light. Focusing, he clicks the shutter.
He´ll ask himself later, if he knew. It´s easy to say that he had acted without thinking, out of instinct.

Rook Henderson is an award-winning photographer, still carrying the hidden scars of war. Now, suddenly, he is also a widower. Leaving his son Ralph to pick up the pieces, Rook flies to Vietnam for the first time in fifty years, escaping to the landscape of a place he once knew so well.

But when Ralph follows him out there, seeking answers from the father he barely knows, Rook is forced to unwind his past: his childhood in Yorkshire, his life in London in the 1960s and his marriage to the unforgettable June - and to ask himself what price he has paid for a life behind the lens . . .

Gripping, evocative and unforgettable, The Last Photograph is a story of a life shaped by trauma and love - and the secrets that make us who we are.
Evocative, harrowing. . .Emma Chapman tackles the big subjects of love and war with aplomb Tatler
