The story is set around the stunning Hope Hall which are luxurious apartments and the residents that are living there some old and some new. There are three women that are the centre of the book and I loved to see how their stories intertwine. Cassie has things that have happened in the past to her and she is scared to move on and let go of what happened to her. Nina's world was shattered and now she is trying to get a grips with moving on but someone in the family won't let her. And Venetia who I grew to love, she does not feel her age of seventy nine but she has many secrets hidden up her sleeve, ones she has never told anyone before but can an unlikely friendship get her to open up. It was such a lovely story that was brimming with hope and love, I loved all the residents and I thought it was a thought provoking read as it made you think what you would do in the women's situations. I really enjoyed it.

This lovely book tells the stories of the residents of a converted Manor House, now apartments, I felt strongly connected to many of the characters, they are so well depicted; I empathised with their joy, sorrow and outrage as the tales unfolded. The descriptions of the apartments and their surroundings are beautiful. Erica James is a great story teller, and I think this book is one of her best.

Hope Hall has been converted into luxury apartments and the story follows three of the inhabitants Venetia, Cassie and Nina.
They are very different women with different hopes and problems but together they find their way.
A lovely book, easy to read and heartwarming

Hope Hall has been turned into luxury apartments and we soon meet many of the wonderful characters who now live there. The characters were so well described and I really felt like I knew them.

They all have different issues they are dealing with and I enjoyed seeing how their lives panned out and how friendships were formed in the stunning setting.


A wonderful story of love, friendship and strength and another fantastic read by the amazing Erica James.

I have read many previous novels by Erica James so I was excited to receive this, her latest one. Thanks to net galley and the publisher for an advance copy in exchange for an unbiased review.
The story is set at Hope Hall, which has had many different owners and uses and has now been converted into luxury apartments. This is the ‘Forever Home’ in the title.
The story follows the lives of three women who live at Hope Hall. They all have different challenges and are very different from each other but forge great friendships.
It’s a page turner and a good book to read at any time of year including on holiday. I recommend it.
