About this listen

When journalist Ella Franks is unmasked as a woman writing under a male pseudonym, she loses her job. But having risked everything to write, she refuses to be silenced and leaps at the chance to become a correspondent in war-torn France.

Already entrenched in the thoroughly male arena of war reporting is feisty American photojournalist Danni Bradford. Together with her best friend and partner, Andy, she is determined to cover the events unfolding in Normandy. And to discover the whereabouts of Andy’s flighty sister, Vogue model Chloe, who has followed a lover into the French Resistance.

When trailblazing efforts turn to tragedy, Danni, Ella and Chloe are drawn together, and soon form a formidable team. Each woman is determined to follow her dreams "no matter what", and to make her voice heard over the noise of war.

Europe is a perilous place, with danger at every turn. They’ll need to rely on each other if they are to get their stories back, and themselves out alive. Will the adventure and love they find be worth the journey of their lives?

Absolutely amazing

This started out as a book to read when i was between reading others. It quickly became my main read as i listened to it whenever i had the chance. I am heartbroken that i finished it but the ending completely makes up for it.

The Last Correspondent listen was more like

Historical Romance than Historical fiction. I kept listening thinking there must be more substance to this story. I was unable to relate to the characters as well. Fans of romance in the WW11 setting may enjoy.

Recommended read for WWII fans

The story is a great one and the narrator did a fantastic job bringing it to life. I pride myself in being a prolific WWII reader but during reading this book I looked up some of the events and found that it was loosely based on the great war correspondent Martha Gellhorn. I'm very surprised that I have not read more books about her.

Great ending

Very slow to get my interest but worthwhile to follow to the end. Great insight into how women must always work hard to do what they love.

Three female correspondence

An entertaining story but totally unrealistic. No way this could’ve happened during World War II.

Sufficiently Entertaining WW2 Plot, But too cheesy

I love all Ms. Lane''s books about WW2. This one, although great info on women war journalist during this period, I found it to be a little too romancey & overly dramatic in this department. Not her best. But enjoyable nevertheless.

Exciting story of wartime heroism.

Reminded me of Love and Ruin by Paula McClain, a novel about the stormy marriage of Martha Gelhorn and Ernest Hemingway.
