      At my mother’s interment, my brother gave a eulogy by the grave. ‘Mum and Dad bought this plot on my 24th birthday,’ he said. ‘But it only came with a 50-year lease. So if I manage to survive to the age of 74, I hope I have enough savings left to buy

      The party was a failure. I can’t even tell you what a failure it was. There are no words. Only a great pain in my chest when I wake up. On the veranda. It’s better when I sit in the chair. Oh, but then I can see around. The gauzy curtains, pushed by

      My year off was also interesting, in that I didn’t feel any less loved, or cherished, or wanted. Why? Because my life is already rich with soulmates, and I got the chance to behold that. You don’t have to shag someone for them to be a soulmate. We do

      Another novel from a good storyteller. An unfortunate portrait of Mrs Blair! on the inside cover. Error painful - saying a marriage was in 1942 and he died at D-Day the next year.
    • 2/5
      A below-average chick lit novel. The heroine starts off well enough but very soon gets irritating, as does her whole family. I liked the on-off boyfriend Jaden but I had no idea what he was doing with Lizzie. It's all rather ridiculous and she ends up with the wrong man who isn't very nice at all. Not recommended.
    • 3/5
      Liked the other books I'd read of hers but didn't even start to like the main character until after the first 200 pages! All the characters were a bit confusing too. Was satisfied by the ending but feel like this one's forgettable.
    • 5/5
      Going Home is not your typical Chick Lit book. It isn't fluffy & lighthearted. It is real & intense. Lizzy's emotions jump off the page & sucks you in. Harriet Evans did a great job & has found a loyal reader with me. I look forward to reading her next book.
    • 4/5
      My husband got this for me for Christmas. Better than alot of chick lit. Standard agonies of family and romance with a happy ending.
