Book Three in the At the End of the World series. Is Hamish and Kate the greatest love story ever told? Whether it is or not, it is certainly one of the more elaborate and heartfelt tales. Forty years of interruptions and resumptions would test all but the greatest of loves. Each twist and turn is disquieting and unexpected. Hamish and Kate is a haunting story of dissatisfaction with the spoils of love and of a life lived with regret. Hamish and Kate is the third in the At the End of the World series of books. However, it is self-contained and can be enjoyed on its own. At the End of the World (Book One in the series) begins with Arthur's geologist friend Hamish losing his wife of forty years. This book tells the story through the eyes of Hamish's nemesis, Euan.
