A short story prequel to the international bestselling novel The Perfume Garden
With The Last Rose of Summer , Kate Lord Brown immerses readers in the rich, sensual world of modern Valencia, Spain, where an abandoned villa holds the key to a woman's past, and her daughter's future.
It's midsummer's night, and the Festival of San Juan illuminates the city streets; the beautiful Valencian coast is ablaze with the light of bonfires crackling on the beaches and fireworks in the sky. Liberty has invited John--the man she refused to marry but never stopped loving--to meet her there. She hopes that together they will discover the truth about the Villa del Valle--but she has a secret. Can John learn to live, and can Liberty learn to let go, before it is too late?
