Very small amount of foxing present

From Charlotte McConaghy comes a haunting and beautifully written novel about loss, survival, and the fragile relationship between humans and the natural world.

In a near-future world devastated by climate change, most wildlife has disappeared—leaving the planet eerily quiet and on the brink of collapse.

Franny Stone is determined to follow what may be the last migration of Arctic terns—the final flock of birds making the long journey from the Arctic to Antarctica.

To do it, she convinces a fishing crew to take her aboard their vessel, setting off on a dangerous journey across treacherous seas.

But Franny isn’t just chasing birds.

She’s running from her past.

As the voyage unfolds, fragments of her history begin to surface—revealing grief, love, and the choices that shaped her. The journey becomes as much about confronting herself as it is about witnessing the last great migration on Earth.

Lyrical, emotional, and deeply atmospheric, The Last Migration explores belonging, climate loss, and what it means to keep going in a world that feels like it’s ending.
