After a heavy work week I was looking for something enjoyable to read. Luckily Coming Home By Annabel Kantaria came through the letterbox. I was drawn in from the first page. The story is engaging with enough twists to keep you guessing. The character of Evie is likeable and warm, even when her mother is bringing out her immaturity. Kantaria captures family life and all of its difficulties. I enjoyed this book and read it quickly. It is a triumphant debut from Annabel Kantaria. Recommended.

‘An utterly compelling story of loss and betrayal – I loved it’ – Judy Finnigan
Your parents make you who you are.

But how much do you really know about them?

After her father unexpectedly passes away, Evie leaves her life in Dubai behind, and returns to England. Her family home is the same as it ever was: perfectly pristine, but filled with her mother’s unspoken grief for Evie’s brother, who was killed as a child in a tragic accident.

Evie knew that coming home would be hard. But whatever she expected, she’s definitely not prepared for her whole life to unravel in front of her. And as one secret after another is uncovered, she begins to realise that everything she thought she knew about her family has been one big lie…

Coming Home is available here.
