When John?s mind begins to unravel, Martha must care for him alone-until she falls ill herself, and wonders how she?ll ever keep her head above water.Set against the stunning backdrop of Shakespeare?s Bay and the white cliffs of Dover, The Last Wave is a story spanning three generations, from the 1940s to the present day, and encompassing all the grief and joy of family life.
