About this listen
'An extraordinary novel. as beautiful and as wrenching as anything I've ever read.' Emily St John Mandel
'This novel is enchanting, but not in some safe, fairytale sense. Charlotte McConaghy has harnessed the rough magic that sears our souls. I recommend The Last Migration with my whole heart.' Geraldine Brooks
For readers of Station Eleven and Everything I Never Told You, a debut novel set on the brink of catastrophe, as a young woman chases the world's last birds - and her own final chance for redemption.
A dark past. An impossible journey. The will to survive.
How far you would you go for love? Franny Stone is determined to go to the end of the earth, following the last of the Arctic terns on what may be their final migration to Antarctica.
As animal populations plummet and commercial fishing faces prohibition, Franny talks her way onto one of the few remaining boats heading south. But as she and the eccentric crew travel further from shore and safety, the dark secrets of Franny's life begin to unspool. A daughter's yearning search for her mother. An impulsive, passionate marriage. A shocking crime. Haunted by love and violence, Franny must confront what she is really running towards - and from.
Previously published as The Last Migration, this is a wild, gripping and deeply moving novel from a brilliant young writer. From the west coast of Ireland to Australia and remote Greenland, through crashing Atlantic swells to the bottom of the world, this is an ode to the wild places and creatures now threatened, and an epic story of the possibility of hope against all odds.

Harrowing but beautiful
A mix of climate change commentary and tragic love story, I really enjoyed the vivid imagery and interesting characters. Thought provoking and emotional.

This Story took me by surprise
I started this just as a time filler. Then found I couldn't wait to get back to it.
The narration was perfectly in tune for this story.

Deeply emotional and excellent narration
I loved this story, I found it a bit slow and confusing at first, but once it gets into a good rhythm it’s excellent. The author and narrator do an excellent job of portraying each of the complex characters and several points were heart wrenching, the last hour had me trying my best to cry quietly on the train to work.

Loved it.
Wasn’t sure I could love this As much as Once were Wolves. A little slower to get into but then I was hooked.
Thoroughly recommend.

Sublime
Well, I could listen to Barrie Kreinik all day and her voice fits beautifully with this sublime story. I wanted to spend time with the characters. I wanted to see how the adventure progressed. I loved the gradual unfurling of the mystery of her past and the descriptions of her relationship. And then there's aching love of the wild and the wrestling of it in our natures. Really, it's something to behold. I might listen to it again now...
