Coming Home

by Annabel Kantaria

An ordinary family. A devastating betrayal.

‘An utterly compelling story of loss and betrayal – I loved it’ – Judy Finnigan

Evie has been away from home long enough to bury the pain that shaped her childhood.

Now, with the sudden death of her father, she must return. Back to the same house. Back to the memories. Back to her mother.

At first, coming home feels unexpectedly comforting. But, as she goes through her father’s files, Evie uncovers a secret that opens old wounds and changes her life forever.

That’s only the beginning.

As Evie’s world starts to shatter around her, she realises that those she loves most are also those capable of the deepest betrayal.

A powerful, poignant novel, Coming Home is perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult and Liane Moriarty.

Coming Home is definitely a very different kind of contemporary story, what with the betrayal, the secrets and the lies. However, in several places, I would have liked a little bit more or maybe at least something a little different. Evie acted more on impulse than anything else, and this left her with some of the secrets still hidden, when she could have figured some things out much earlier than she did.

Full review to come soon.
