A sudden departure. A story decades in the making. The chaotic but happy equilibrium of the Nightingale family is thrown into disarray when Cecily--whose children can't remember her ever being remotely spontaneous--disappears to a Greek island with no warning or explanation. Her reasons for doing something so out of character are a total mystery to her three daughters, high-powered executive Felicity, unfulfilled GP Julia and organised mother-of-five Lily. What connection could she possibly have with Kefalonia? But Cecily has gone to continue a story she thought ended decades ago--one that could have a huge impact on her family. And when she returns, she'll have to tell them the truth. Will Cecily be able to hold her family together once she reveals her big secret? And might she discover that she's not the only one with a story to tell?… (lisätietoja)

Quick read on love and forgiveness. The family drama between the main characters is amazing and made the book. This also provides the growth of the mother during the book and the fallout of her truth. The development of characters could have been better, but overall a quick, fun read.
Thanks to netgalley for the free ARC in exchange for an honest review. ( )

Summary......
The chaotic but happy equilibrium of the Nightingale family is thrown into disarray when Cecily—whose children can’t remember her ever being remotely spontaneous—disappears to a Greek island with no warning or explanation.
Her reasons for doing something so out of character are a total mystery to her three daughters, high-powered executive Felicity, unfulfilled GP Julia and organised mother-of-five Lily. What connection could she possibly have with Kefalonia?
But Cecily has gone to continue a story she thought ended decades ago—one that could have a huge impact on her family. And when she returns, she’ll have to tell them the truth.
Will Cecily be able to hold her family together once she reveals her big secret? And might she discover that she’s not the only one with a story to tell?

This was a very good book!
I really enjoyed this book. It was a quick, easy read. I loved the characters in the book.
It was so well written, I couldn’t put it down. I wanted to know what was going to happen next, that I finished it that night.

Thank You NetGalley And Imogen Clark for this ARC I apperiacte! ( )

I enjoyed this story more than I thought I would. They say not to judge a book by its cover, and while the front cover of this is just gorgeous, I was less than wowed by the back cover narrative. And I wasn't super enthused by the first chapter either. However, much to my pleasant surprise, this is a lovely story of hope and love and loss and moving on. I can't tell you why I liked it without spoiling it for you, however, if you're looking for a heart-warming, life-affirming beach-read, then definitely pick this one up! It might make you cry a bit, but it just might make you smile too! ( )

What happens when a woman who gave up a baby daughter for adoption in 1968 and now has a happy marriage and family with 3 adult daughters, is reunited with the child she gave up 50 years later. Well done family story with good character development, well done and quite interesting. ( )

Cecily and Norman Nightingale, and their three adult daughters are living a happy and sometimes frenzied life in Harrogate, England. However, an unexpected letter has propelled Cecily almost two thousand miles away to Greece, without any warning or explanation.
The daughters are gravely perturbed by Cecily’s abrupt move, and start pondering if she would come back to them..
The talented Imogen Clark has beautifully and seamlessly portrayed THE LAST PIECE which is an emotional story about family, differences and many facts of life that would make us who we are. Life is like building a jigsaw puzzle, where one would still have the pleasure of assembling it, and can see what it is even missing the last piece.
Thank you, NetGalley and Lake Union Publishing, for giving me the opportunity to enjoy this heart-rending read.
