The Last Good Man by Patience Swift
Synopsis from Beautiful Books:
His solitude is broken by the discovery, one early morning on the flat sands of a low tide, of a child washed up on the beach. Somehow, she is still alive.
In the village, a woman reflects on a lifelong fascination with an ancient love story as she faces an unknown future.
The new arrival on the beach sets in chain a sequence of events that no-one can alter, and in this mystical and powerful novel, we witness a man experiencing our world as though for the first time.
Discover Sam: the last good man on earth.
Sam is a loner, but he likes that. He enjoys his own company, and the company of nature. His life is shaken up when he finds a girl washed up on the beach. He takes her in and looks after her. Isobel is also alone, back in the village to deal with her mother’s estate. She has been looking for love that she has read about, but without success. She crosses Sam’s path too, and things start to look up. Sam takes in the two ladies and his life changes for good….
This is a short book. It is descriptive and enjoyable. It is an easy read, with short, simple sentences. The book flowed and was a lovely read, even though it is a tragic read. It is beautiful read. Swift writes gorgeous characters, and wonderful scenery. Sam was sweet and caring. Isobel was vulnerable, with a troubled streak. The girl is silent, but was happy and a lovely read.
I found the ending a bit strange. The majority of the book was written in third person and then in the last few pages the book switches to first person. The ending is sad, but I felt it was a bit inconclusive. However, I do recommend this book, I really enjoyed it.
9/10
the book is interesting but the story line of the main characters(Sam and Isobel and the little girl )was not clearly understood. pls we need the review of the book.
The book is very interesting. Easy to read because of the plain down to earth English used. The book started on third person narrator and then toward the end changed to first person narrator where the little girl became the narrator. Why?
The book was interesting but with a strange ending.
The book is Intresting but with a tragic end. How painful
