The Last Days of Ava Langdon

By Mark O'Flynn

A poignant exploration of an artist's final days, inspired by the life of Eve Langley.

Ava Langdon, a novelist haunted by eccentricity and a passion for words, lives as an outcast in the Blue Mountains. Unbeknownst to her, time is running short.

Each day is a quest for the perfect sentence, the perfect description, as Ava navigates the world in men's clothing, peppering conversations with French phrases. From submitting a final manuscript to a fateful encounter with a ute, Ava's journey encapsulates the freedom of being different and the poignant beauty of isolation. This is a story for readers who appreciate character-driven narratives, Australian settings, and explorations of mental health. Experience a tale that is both heartbreaking and humorous, atmospheric and thought-provoking.
