The Last Winter is a fantasy incorporating true life values.
'Complex, simple, devious and misleading'
Simon Sharp, London
'Having been privileged to have read The Last Winter I can say that readers are in for a treat'
David Balcombe, London
"I loved this story, essentially of time travel from a very female perspective, the hardness of life for a female in time gone by. Not Doctor Who whipping in and out of time, but someone being stuck in a time and not being understood, and the very real human emotions that come about with these changes.
I the story was very clever, very well thought out and well researched. I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who loves a story with many turns and twists, that stretches your imagination and emotions"
Teresa Canel, New Zealand

The Last Winter has been described as a psychological fantasy. To offer a synopsis of the plot would be impossible without spoiling it as it does not contain a 'twist in the tail' but is, in its entirety, a kink.
However, it appears to be about a modern young, poorly educated mother and what happens to her and her daughter over a period of twenty or so years when she finds herself under impossible and inescapable circumstances.
The Last Winter provides a view of mankind's future. Chosen by the desire of a genius, a young mother and daughter's past, future and present become meaningless. In 2734, humans have certain knowledge that no other form of intelligent life exists elsewhere in their galaxy and with the possibility of the human personality existing before birth or surviving physical death deemed to be unlikely, a time develops that throws human culture into an unfamiliar and evil period. Fueled by the anxiety of isolation and separated from ethical and moral constraints, their societies struggle to maintain order unaccompanied by the once familiar fear of eternal punishment. Two insignificant and artificially grown humans though are to change that.
