From the author of worldwide phenomenon THE VANISHING HALF, an epic story of two women who defined an era – and the feud that defined them
The exceptional new novel from the author of Women’s Prize shortlisted and Sunday Times bestseller THE VANISHING HALF
From the author of worldwide phenomenon The Vanishing Half, an epic story of two women who defined an era – and the feud that defined them.
The world wasn’t big enough for both of them.
Cleo is beautiful and talented, born for the stage but haunted by a tragic past. While Roz is an equally gifted singer, she is tortured by her friend’s magnetism – even her mother seems to admire Cleo more.
It isn’t long before Cleo betrays Roz to go solo: a betrayal that will see her become a superstar. But Roz is also destined for greatness, setting the scene for the biggest music rivalry the world has ever seen.
As the decades pass, the two women’s stars will rise and fall until one of them pays the ultimate price; and the world will ask, who was really to blame?
Told with dazzling prose and devastating tenderness, The Last Diva is a glittering portrait of two women bound together by music and fame, love and rivalry – and the ache of wanting more than the world was ever willing to give them.
