For years Yvonne has tried to keep her demons buried and focus on moving forward. But her guilt is always with her and weighs heavily on her heart.

Kiama has had to grow up without a mother, and while there is so much he remembers about her, there is still plenty he doesn’t know. And there’s only one person who can fill in the gaps.

Lewis wants nothing more than to keep Kiama, his son, safe, but the thought of Kiama dredging up the past worries Lewis deeply. And Lewis doesn’t know if he’s ready to let the only woman he’s ever loved back into his life.

When Kiama seeks Yvonne out and asks her to come with him to Kenya, the place that holds the answers to his questions, she knows she can’t refuse. And this one act sets in motion an unravelling of the past that no one is ready for.

Moving between London and Kenya, and spanning almost two decades, Homecoming is a profound story of love, family and friendship. It’s about coming to terms with your past, and about what happens when we finally share our truths.

Homecoming isn’t the type of book that I would have picked up for myself, Luan Goldie has a fantastic reputation, you will not have to dive far into the literary world before you find someone who has read her debut Nightingale Point.

With high expectations that this book would be as good as the first I was not disappointed. She creates beautiful and complex characters and as we read on more of their character is slowly but surely revealed to us.

The story itself is equally as sensational, I do not want to give too much away but if you want a nostalgic read full of secrets, forbidden love and friendship then Homecoming will deliver all of that and so much more.

I am so excited to see what other delights Luan has in store for us.
