Book Review of The Last September

The Last September
reviewed on + 379 more book reviews


I have always sought out books published by Algonquin because they are exceptionally well written. This novel is no exception. It is a multi-layered portrayal of lives that combine obsession, infidelity, grief, mental illness and murder. I thought Nina De Gramont did an excellent job of building suspense from the first page. The characters are flawed and some are unlikeable, but this novel is effective in depicting them into a riveting reading experience. I am grateful to LibraryThing for the opportunity to read this book as part of their Early Reviewers' offerings.
