I really enjoyed this book which was about 3 generations and other cultures and how their behaviours differed because of their age and culture.
It was a gentle tale that dealt with mistakes made in life. Very good read

Pure escapism. I lost myself in the characters world and enjoyed this book. I really liked the setting (Cornwall and India) and could envisage the sights and sounds. An easy read and perfect for a holiday or a wet and rainy Sunday.

This is a lovely book to curl up with on a Sunday afternoon. It follows Henry and Ella's story who were introduced to us in one of Fern's earlier books and we get to see how their lives have continued and what happens when their mother returns.

I really enjoyed it and was a lovely gentle read.

I loved Coming Home - an epic of secrets and lies over three generations zig-zagging continents with a beautiful ending. Spellbinding.

Another book from Fern Britton about the residents of a small village in Cornwall. I've read one other book from this series (The Postcard) and, as with that book it is not necessary to have read previous titles about this village as each book focuses on a different set of characters although there is a thread when characters from previous titles are bought in. A light and easy read, ideal for holidays. This is a book about coming to terms with the past and reconciliation. It basically involves teenage Sennen who abandoned her two very young children in the care of her parents and ended up leading a rather nomadic life. It is the death of the parents which brings her back to Cornwall and her two, now grown up, children who receive her reappearance in totally opposite ways. Her daughter accepts Sennen straight away but her son rebels and is, quite honestly, very badly behaved and throws a lot of tantrums. Both extremes are slightly unbelievable but it hangs together as a story and the ending is slightly predictable but for this type of read totally acceptable. I would certainly read other stories from the village's set of characters in the future.

A real feel good book. Fern Britton writes in such a way that has you engaged with the characters from the very first page and once you start reading, you just don't want to put the book down! A delightful story with just the right amount of description of the Cornish setting and enough emotion to have me in tears several times over.
