Review
“The Last Storyteller spans three generations, two continents, and one family’s desperate attempt to mend the tears in the fabric of their hearts. All three women–grandmother Victoria, mother Isabel, and daughter Taite–ring true to me as genuine, complex, yet sympathetic characters. A rich thread of Welsh history is woven throughout this poignant modern tale, even as it explores the very contemporary issue of medical ethics. The real storyteller here is Diane Noble, whose novels never fail to touch the heart with tenderness and truth.”
–Liz Curtis Higgs, best-selling author of Thorn in My Heart
“I waited years for Diane to write this book and it was worth the wait! Within these pages you’ll find heartfelt longing, holy desire, trials and triumphs. Diane has seamlessly drawn together an ancient and contemporary storyline, making it a delicious choice for any taste in fiction.”
–Lisa Tawn Bergren, best-selling author of The Captain’s Bride
“Like all of Diane Noble’s wonderful novels, The Last Storyteller overflows with warm sensitivity and pure entertainment. The love story of Taite and Sam will long be remembered and cherished. I enjoyed it very much!”
–Linda Lee Chaikin, author of Yesterday’s Promise and Today’s Embrace
“True-to-life characters in heartbreaking situations with hope as their only buoy–these are the elements of Diane Noble’s The Last Storyteller. A story of redemption and forgiveness as only Diane Noble can tell it. I look forward to every novel crafted by this master storyteller.”
