Summary

Nochebuena de 1959， Altos de Adelaida， Australia。 Al final de un día caluroso， junto a un arroyo en los terrenos de la mansión de la familia Turner， un repartidor realiza un descubrimiento espeluznante。 Comienza una investigación policial y el pequeño pueblo de Tambilla se ve inmerso en uno de los casos de asesinato más desconcertantes y dolorosos de la historia de Australia del Sur。

Sesenta años más tarde Jess ha perdido su empleo en el periódico y tiene dificultades para llegar a fin de mes。 Inmersa en encontrar una buena historia que cambie su suerte， recibe una llamada inesperada por la que decide abandonar Londres y regresar a Sídney。 Su abuela Nora， con quien se crio， ha sufrido una caíday está ingresada。 El recuerdo de su querida abuela contrasta con la realidad al encontrar a una mujer frágil y desconcertada。

Sin nada que hacer en casa de Nora， Jess se dedica a curiosear y en el dormitorio de la anciana descubre un libro que detalla la investigación policial de una tragedia ya olvidada: la de la familia Turner en la Nochebuena de 1959。 Mientras hojea el libro， Jess descubre una asombrosa conexión entre su familia y aquel suceso。 Desde entonces la búsqueda de la verdad será el único camino posible。

De vuelta a casa es el regreso de una de las grandes voces de la narrativa actual。 Kate Morton construye una novela épica， de personajes memorables， que explora el poder de la maternidad， la erosión que provocan los recuerdos guardados durante generaciones y el poder curativo de la verdad。

Homecoming by Katie Morton I was very excited to read this new book by Kate Morton， as her books are always so beautifully written， and this was no exception。 Told across two timelines， we are in 1959 where Nora is a young pregnant lady， coming to stay with her sister in law， and family， while she has her baby， and 1918 where Nora is in hospital unwell， and her Granddaughter Jess flies from the UK， where she has been living and working as a journalist， to be with her beloved Grandmother who brou Homecoming by Katie Morton I was very excited to read this new book by Kate Morton， as her books are always so beautifully written， and this was no exception。 Told across two timelines， we are in 1959 where Nora is a young pregnant lady， coming to stay with her sister in law， and family， while she has her baby， and 1918 where Nora is in hospital unwell， and her Granddaughter Jess flies from the UK， where she has been living and working as a journalist， to be with her beloved Grandmother who brought her up。Whilst staying at her Grandmother's house， Jess finds a book chronicling the events of 1959， when Nora's sister-in-law and her children were found dead by the creek after having a picnic。 The case was never satisfactorily resolved， and Jess in true journalistic style starts digging into the past to find out more。This book has everything to keep you enthralled。 A murder mystery with secrets， lies， and a few red herrings。 Some secret love and illicit affairs。 Some very likable and relatable characters。 Most of all， beautiful writing。My advanced copy was marred by the fact that for some reason all the ff， fi and fl had been removed！ Sometimes it was tricky to guess what a word should be！！ Very annoying。https://www。goodreads。com/book/show/6。。。 。。。more

I won this book from a Goodreads giveaway。 Homecoming comes out next month and you need to get yourself a copy of this book。 Morton masterfully weaves two families stories together over decades。 The depth of character development is impressive。 It's very rare that an author leaves such an impression on their reader。 The characters changed literary positions throughout the novel and I was constantly surprised while reading。 I couldn't even try to figure out how characters were connected because I I won this book from a Goodreads giveaway。 Homecoming comes out next month and you need to get yourself a copy of this book。 Morton masterfully weaves two families stories together over decades。 The depth of character development is impressive。 It's very rare that an author leaves such an impression on their reader。 The characters changed literary positions throughout the novel and I was constantly surprised while reading。 I couldn't even try to figure out how characters were connected because I was so immersed in the story from page 1。 For me， the theme hinged on stories that are important to who children believe themselves to be; but， as adults， we have to choose to accept them， or change them for ourselves。 The theme was crystal clear to me towards the end， but I wonder how many other themes will emerge based on the reader's own life experience。 10/10。 。。。more

I won this ARC through a Goodreads Giveaway。 I have always been a fan of Kate Morton’s books。 She is an auto-buy author for me， so I was excited to win this book ahead of its release。 I was disappointed in this book。 The story at the heart of the book was good， but the pacing was off。 I was able to figure out what happened， but the reveal was still a good 100 pages out。 I think it could have been much better if it was shortened by about 200 pages。 This is probably more of a 2。5 star read， but I I won this ARC through a Goodreads Giveaway。 I have always been a fan of Kate Morton’s books。 She is an auto-buy author for me， so I was excited to win this book ahead of its release。 I was disappointed in this book。 The story at the heart of the book was good， but the pacing was off。 I was able to figure out what happened， but the reveal was still a good 100 pages out。 I think it could have been much better if it was shortened by about 200 pages。 This is probably more of a 2。5 star read， but I rounded it up。 。。。more

I've loved everything by Kate Morton， and this one was worth the wait。 More than just a mystery， she has a way of weaving together complex characters and stories that is unrivaled。 Though it was at times hard to read （the historical mystery involves a dead mother and children）， I truly lost myself in this one。 I've loved everything by Kate Morton， and this one was worth the wait。 More than just a mystery， she has a way of weaving together complex characters and stories that is unrivaled。 Though it was at times hard to read （the historical mystery involves a dead mother and children）， I truly lost myself in this one。 。。。more

Kate Morton's Homecoming comes out April 4。 I was lucky enough to read an e-arc， thanks to @netgalley 。 A number of remarkable women are at the centre of Homecoming。 The action moves between South Australia in the late 50's and modern day Sydney。 Jess， a journalist approaching 40， finds herself at loose ends in London， England。 She's unexpectedly single and trying to make mortgage payments writing freelance when she gets the call from Australia telling her that the grandmother who raised her is Kate Morton's Homecoming comes out April 4。 I was lucky enough to read an e-arc， thanks to @netgalley 。 A number of remarkable women are at the centre of Homecoming。 The action moves between South Australia in the late 50's and modern day Sydney。 Jess， a journalist approaching 40， finds herself at loose ends in London， England。 She's unexpectedly single and trying to make mortgage payments writing freelance when she gets the call from Australia telling her that the grandmother who raised her is in hospital。 Nora has apparently fallen while trying to find something in her attic。 Isabel flies to Sydney to support Nora and finds an unexpected mystery around her family history involving the death of a wealthy family in 1959。The story goes back and forth between Jess' investigation and the actual events of 1959。 There is a "book within a book" device， as Jess reads another writer's account of the story she is unraveling。 There are multiple perspectives on the same event， which is both compelling and frustrating at times。 I found myself flipping back and forth as pieces started to slot into place。Homecoming is about identity and place and family and the lengths you might go to to protect people you love or to keep their secrets。 I did not completely figure out the mystery until the final pages， which was rewarding。 If you are a Morton fan， this is a must-read。 If you haven't discovered her particular spin on family histories， this would be a great place to start。 4 and a half stars （it takes a while to get going。 。。。more

Homecoming is Kate Morton's latest dual narrative， historical fiction offering。 Like The Lake House and The Clockmaker's Daughter it is set across two timelines and in this case， countries。 It starts in Southern Australia in the late 1950s on Christmas Eve and joins up with a modern day narrative in 2018。 The story centres around a murder mystery in which an entire family is found lying dead in their Christmas Eve picnic spot， and how this becomes connected to the modern day heroine， Jess Turner Homecoming is Kate Morton's latest dual narrative， historical fiction offering。 Like The Lake House and The Clockmaker's Daughter it is set across two timelines and in this case， countries。 It starts in Southern Australia in the late 1950s on Christmas Eve and joins up with a modern day narrative in 2018。 The story centres around a murder mystery in which an entire family is found lying dead in their Christmas Eve picnic spot， and how this becomes connected to the modern day heroine， Jess Turner-Bridges。 She has come back to Australia， having lived in London for the past 20 years after the grandmother who raised her has suffered a debilitating fall and slipped into a coma。 As Jess explores some of the secrets her family never talked about she starts to uncover a past as devastating as her grandmother's illness is。 I really enjoyed the 2018 storyline and its twists and turns， though found it difficult to get into the 1950s one at first。 The pace really gathers up to about 90% of the way through the novel and then I found it a bit bitty and as if the author was trying to tie up all the loose ends of the plot。 Overall， it was another fantastic read by Kate Morton and I'd happily recommend the book。 Many thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for giving me an early copy in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

I first became interested in reading books by this author after I read The Clockmaker's Daughter， a few months ago。This was a beautifully written book， and reading it felt very much like an escape。 There was also another story within the story， and I felt very drawn into that too。 There were some nice characters that I liked and identified with。This was quite a hefty read， so maybe not ideal if you're looking for something light enough to read in one sitting， but I suppose that still depends wha I first became interested in reading books by this author after I read The Clockmaker's Daughter， a few months ago。This was a beautifully written book， and reading it felt very much like an escape。 There was also another story within the story， and I felt very drawn into that too。 There were some nice characters that I liked and identified with。This was quite a hefty read， so maybe not ideal if you're looking for something light enough to read in one sitting， but I suppose that still depends what kind of reader you are。 I would say it's definitely a good choice if you want a book that will help you escape for a little while。Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a free copy to review。 。。。more

What a wonderful story。I was concerned when I saw the number of pages of this book that it would be a long-winded story， but it is a number of stories in one。I didn't guess that it was a who-dunnit until well into the book， and then my guess was wrong as to what had happened。Brilliant characters， brilliant storylines。 It was quite unusual for me to read a book partly set in Australia that covered so much of the continent。I will certainly look out for her previous books and any that she writes in What a wonderful story。I was concerned when I saw the number of pages of this book that it would be a long-winded story， but it is a number of stories in one。I didn't guess that it was a who-dunnit until well into the book， and then my guess was wrong as to what had happened。Brilliant characters， brilliant storylines。 It was quite unusual for me to read a book partly set in Australia that covered so much of the continent。I will certainly look out for her previous books and any that she writes in the future。Many thanks to the author for a brilliant book and to the publisher for an advanced copy for honest review。 。。。more

This is， in my humble opinion， Kate Morton’s best。It follows the story in 2018 of Jess， who left sydney to build a new life in London two decades earlier。 When her beloved grandmother， who practically raised her， has a fall climbing up to the attic and ends up in hospital， Jess returns to her grandmother’s Sydney mansion。 On a hospital visit， Jess hears her grandmother mutter garbled sentences as she comes in and out of consciousness pleading for her baby not to be taken。 What was so important u This is， in my humble opinion， Kate Morton’s best。It follows the story in 2018 of Jess， who left sydney to build a new life in London two decades earlier。 When her beloved grandmother， who practically raised her， has a fall climbing up to the attic and ends up in hospital， Jess returns to her grandmother’s Sydney mansion。 On a hospital visit， Jess hears her grandmother mutter garbled sentences as she comes in and out of consciousness pleading for her baby not to be taken。 What was so important up in that attic that her grandmother risked her safety to find？The narrative cuts back and forth to the Adelaide Hills in 1959， where on Christmas Eve， a local delivery man makes a gruesome discovery on the grounds of the grand estate， Halcyon。 The secrets of this day will lay hidden for decades。Morton is an absolute master at interweaving several plot lines into one coherent story that comes to the most satisfying conclusion。 This book is filled with family secrets， hidden diaries and - best of all - rambling old houses， that add a sense of beautiful foreboding to the tale。Homecoming was worth the five-year wait， it’s my absolute favourite book of 2023 so far and can’t imagine it being toppled by another ❤️ 。。。more

Although I usually love Kate Morton’s books- I found this like work to get through。 The current day story was interesting but the story within the story was very slow and overly detailed。 I wanted to know what happened and wanted to give up- I persevered。

I’m a sucker for books about generational family secrets and this did not disappoint！ It took me a bit to get into， and at first I was annoyed at having to slow down to read Morton’s detailed reading。 But then I came to appreciate her carefulness to develop all the characters well。 It’s been awhile since I have felt that wrapped into a story。

I wanted to love this book so much。 One of my favourite book of all time is the Lake house from Kate Morton。 I loved the forgotten garden as well。 But Homecoming was so painfully slow。 I read half of it and could not finish it。 The book covers a lot of good themes like the imperfection of motherhood， life as an expat， suicide， etc。 That book could have been the best book of the year。 But unfortunately， it wasn't for me。 Thanks for the giveaway， though。 I wanted to love this book so much。 One of my favourite book of all time is the Lake house from Kate Morton。 I loved the forgotten garden as well。 But Homecoming was so painfully slow。 I read half of it and could not finish it。 The book covers a lot of good themes like the imperfection of motherhood， life as an expat， suicide， etc。 That book could have been the best book of the year。 But unfortunately， it wasn't for me。 Thanks for the giveaway， though。 。。。more

Wow。 I’ve always enjoyed Kate Morton’s writing and this book does not disappoint！！！ What an amazing book！！ The Turner family， Nora， Polly， Jess and the small town in Australia will be with me for so long。 Family is so complicated， so is life。 The ripple effects of choices we make sometimes really do change future events and lives。

Home coming by Kate Morton was a hauntingly beautiful historical fiction novel told in two different time periods。The book begins with Percy （who lives in the past） who is a lovely man from the small town of Tambila comes across a mother and her children dead beside a pond while appearing to have been previously enjoying a cute Christmas Eve picnic together。 Jess lives in present day and is visiting her sick grandmother when her grandma mentions the house at which the tragedy occurred at。 Jess s Home coming by Kate Morton was a hauntingly beautiful historical fiction novel told in two different time periods。The book begins with Percy （who lives in the past） who is a lovely man from the small town of Tambila comes across a mother and her children dead beside a pond while appearing to have been previously enjoying a cute Christmas Eve picnic together。 Jess lives in present day and is visiting her sick grandmother when her grandma mentions the house at which the tragedy occurred at。 Jess spends her time investigating this cold case to try and determine what happened to the family that gorgeous Christmas Eve day， why did he happen and most of all， why is her grandma mentioning it while in hospital。Morton weaves both stories together so beautifully that I was turning the pages so quickly to find out how it was going to end。 Morton uses very descriptive language throughout this novel to help depict beautiful settings。 At 560 pages， this book was lengthy and longer than most books I choose for myself but once I got into the story， I was less bothered about the length。 There were quite a few characters so I ended up having to make myself a family tree to keep everyone straight。 Other than those two minor drawbacks， I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would love to read more by her！ Overall this book is receiving a 4。5 from me！ Thank you to Kate Morton， Netgalley and Simon and Schuster Canada for this advanced copy。 Homecoming hits the shelves on April 4th and I highly recommend you put it at the top of your TBR list！ 。。。more

For Morton fans， this will be that comfy read they love。 For others？ Wow， does the book-within-a-book device make for some lazy writing。 Instead of having Jess do her supposed job as an investigative journalist and do some investigating， giving her everything essentially on a platter via this book （and then the scanned pages and letter） feels incredibly lazy to me。 Plus， she does running back to Sydney when Nora goes into hospital yet spends so little time actually being there for Nora。。。 and he For Morton fans， this will be that comfy read they love。 For others？ Wow， does the book-within-a-book device make for some lazy writing。 Instead of having Jess do her supposed job as an investigative journalist and do some investigating， giving her everything essentially on a platter via this book （and then the scanned pages and letter） feels incredibly lazy to me。 Plus， she does running back to Sydney when Nora goes into hospital yet spends so little time actually being there for Nora。。。 and her London bestie？ Completely drops out of the picture。 With a little real effort on the author's part this could easily have been a much better read， one with the Big Reveal not having been telegraphed from the first quarter of the book。eARC provided by publisher via Edelweiss。 。。。more
