The Homecoming Rosie Howard
Publisher Alison and Busby
Published in hardback 15th February 2018 and paperback 19th July 2018
Maddy fled the idyllic market town of Havenbury Magna three years ago, the scene of a traumatic incident she revisits most clearly in her dreams. Even so, when she is called back to help at the Havenbury Arms when her godfather Patrick suffers a heart attack, she is unprepared for the welter of emotions her return provokes.
Psychologist and ex-army officer Ben is sure he can help Maddy to resolve her fears, until he finds himself falling for her, and struggling with a recently uncovered family secret of which Maddy is blissfully unaware. Then Maddy’s mother, Helen, arrives and Patrick himself must confront a few uncomfortable truths about his history and the pub’s future.
MY REVIEW
The Homecoming is one of the best novels in the last few months that I have read. As a firm favourite of mine, I really recommend reading The Homecoming . The story really touched my heart. Patrick suffered a heart attack leading to a bypass. Valve replacement. He had been lucky they had caught it just in time. Apparently he smoked and drunk too much. Maddy the goddaughter is asked to run the shabby Havenbury Arms while her godfather is having his operation and then he will still need more time off to recover. I was glued to finding out how Maddy was going to run a pub.
