The Last Whisper : The Second Edition

The Last Whisper is a sweeping novel, stretching across thousands of miles and dozens of years, that explores love's power, persistence and sometimes its pain. How does true love endure across time and space in the face of oppression and cruelty? When does the life-sustaining power of one's nostalgic memories begin to poison any chance of an enjoyable present and hopeful future? These are the kinds of questions, "The Last Whisper" challenges the reader to grapple with, from its opening paragraph to its poignant ending.
This compelling journey of love, life, and loss greatly comforted me after the sudden illness and death of my late wife Anjela to cancer. Gripped by sorrow and cynicism, The Last Whisper reminded me that as much as love can hurt, it is ultimately what gives life meaning. Francis' journey taught me that time, distance, and even death itself are no match for the abiding power of love.
