Emma Chapman

Emma Chapman (1986) studeerde Engelse literatuur aan de universiteit van Edinburgh. Ze was nog niet eens afgestudeerd toen het boek dat ze schreef voor het vak Creative Writing tot een verhitte rechtenveiling leidde. De inspiratie voor deze debuutroman was een documentaire over posttraumatisch stresssyndroom.

Samenvatting

The enthralling new novel from the highly acclaimed author of How To Be A Good Wife.

`Absorbing, moving, and acutely insightful’ Lottie Moggach When Rook Henderson’s wife June dies suddenly, he flees to Vietnam for the first time in fifty years, haunted by memories of his time as a war photographer and an event that changed his life forever. But when his son tracks him down seeking answers, Rook is forced to confront truths buried closer to home: the boy he barely knew and the irrepressible wife he left behind. Finally, he must ask himself what price he has paid for a life behind the lens . . . `Immersive’ Sunday Times `Ambitious . . . tension-filled’ Daily Mail `Elegantly constructed’ Observer

He walks into the living room and June is dead.
He centres her, checking the light. Focusing, he clicks the shutter.
He'll ask himself later, if he knew. It's easy to say that he had acted without thinking, out of instinct.

Rook Henderson is an award-winning photographer, still carrying the hidden scars of war. Now, suddenly, he is also a widower. Leaving his son Ralph to pick up the pieces, Rook flies to Vietnam for the first time in fifty years, escaping to the landscape of a place he once knew so well.

But when Ralph follows him out there, seeking answers from the father he barely knows, Rook is forced to unwind his past: his childhood in Yorkshire, his life in London in the 1960s and his marriage to the unforgettable June - and to ask himself what price he has paid for a life behind the lens . . .

Gripping, evocative and unforgettable, The Last Photograph is a story of a life shaped by trauma and love - and the secrets that make us who we are.
