Synopsis

An unputdownable locked-room thriller about family, trust, and survival from the acclaimed author of the “utterly thrilling” (Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times bestselling author) First Born.

When Caz steps onboard the exclusive cruise liner RMS Atlantica, it’s the start of a vacation of a lifetime with her new love, Pete. On their first night they explore the ship, eat, dance, make friends, but when Caz wakes the next morning, Pete is missing.

And when she walks out into the corridor, all the cabin doors are open. To her horror, she soon realizes that the ship is completely empty. No passengers, no crew, nobody but her. The Atlantica is steaming into the mid-Atlantic and Caz is the only person on board. But that’s just the beginning of the terrifying journey she finds herself trapped on in this white-knuckled mystery.

Despite its proximity to central P......more

The Other Press edition of The Last One (2020) by Fatima Daas has a cover design which encapsulates the essence of this book ideally: It is a moving autobiographical novel about trying to fit in. The differences between the unique puzzle piece and the unappealing rest of the composition are striking......more

Goodreads review by Marion

3,5/5 La voix de Fatima Daas est importante et mérite d’être entendue. Ce livre est un hybride entre une autobiographie, un roman et de la poésie, comme je n’en avais jamais lu avant. Ses phrases sont pudiques et tout en retenue. Elle nous offre des fragments de son identité par chapitres courts, abo......more
