Last Sweet Taste

by Craig Nova

Genres: Literary Fiction

Synopsis

After being diagnosed with a fatal illness, Anna leaves everything behind and drifts into Brattleboro, Vermont—with no plans, no ties, and nowhere to go. There, she meets Cyrus and Noah Wolfe, a father and son duo who run a demolition business with a knack for controlled chaos. When a frozen river threatens to flood the town, Noah takes the job to break the ice. But something else has arrived with Anna—something unspoken, quietly unsettling, and impossible to ignore.

The Last Sweet Taste is a haunting, slow-burn novel charged with tension. Craig Nova crafts a rich, polyphonic narrative—layered with personal histories, shifting voices, and the quiet drama of a small town on edge. Both universal and intimate, The Last Sweet Taste shows Nova at the height of his powers.
