Synopsis
For years photojournalist Flash and her war correspondent husband Brando have traversed the globe, chasing down the ever-illusive truth of the world's dangerous fringes. But when Flash receives a letter claiming that her husband has been unfaithful to her in Iraq, she realizes that her photographer's gaze has always been facing outward, and has missed the festering wounds in her own marriage. The third novel from former-journalist Ana Menendez, THE LAST WAR is powerful exploration of the nature of memory and how it alters our understanding of violence and love. Selected by Publishers Weekly as one of the 100 Best Books of 2009.

Industry Reviews
"THE LAST WAR is a precise and subtle book, full of finely realized flashbacks, the narrator's memories of a marriage and detailed descriptions of Istanbul and of the experience of adjusting to another home, another culture."
(06/07/2009)
"A quietly piercing cultural and philosophical think-piece, comparable in its low-key, allusive moodiness to a European art-house movie." (starred review)
