Coming Home

Product Information

Es una historia que atrapa desde el principio, quedé enganchada a todos los personajes y sus odiseas por la vida. It’s second chance, the one that got away, reuniting years later after they both have lived their lives. I am generally happy if there is a strong storyline that does not focus explicitly on a romance (hell, I prefer it that way), but here I don't think the main couple got more than 60 pages out of a massive 1000.

The ornamental lantern which hung over the front door had been turned on, and in its light she saw an alien car parked on the gravel.Essentially I see this book as being divided into two main parts; pre-war with all of the build up and establishment of all the characters, and the second part is about the war itself, the fight at home and abroad. They had spent an inordinate amount of time treading to and from church, and Grandmother had given Judith a prayer-book for a Christmas present. Pilcher takes on a voice in COMING HOME that makes World War II seem more bearable to read about, and all crisis's easier to deal with. A pesar de eso, nunca son snob y aceptan a Judith como a un miembro de la familia, incluídos amigos y visitantes a la mansión, creando lazos de amor y cariño para toda la vida, como si fueran su verdadera familia, veremos como Judith va creciendo, sus logros en la escuela, los cambios de niña a una preciosa mujer, se enamora e ilusiona y sufre una gran decepción, luego estalla la segunda guerra mundial. They emerged in small groups, jostling and giggling and uttering shrieks of cheerful abuse at each other, before finally dispersing and setting off for home.

Coming Home follows the life of Judith Dunbar beginning in 1936, when she is a fourteen year old school girl. Judith is left on her own, yet along the way, via her best friend at school, there are people who enter her life and become her second family.Judith has her father’s sister, Aunt Louise, with whom she is to spend holidays, and makes friends with Loveday Carey-Lewis, who is to have a huge impact on her life and fortunes. This was a really sweet second chance romance, but it was lacking in the emotion and angst I love from Kennedy. Judith is left behind, at boarding school, and this is where her rather lonely life takes a turn for the better. When they finally are in each other's presence again, the chemistry is still very much present and strong. She went through the waiting-room, which always smelt distressingly of lavatories, and emerged into the unlit lane that lay beyond.

One of them was to watch the tides and raise a signal when the water rose high enough for the coal-boats to sail in over the sandbar, and the other was ferryman. I love reading books where there is that mutual pining and you just know that both characters have it bad for one another. Judith was sent to live at a boarding school where she struck up a life-long friendship with Loveday Carey-Lewis, a genteel young girl who loved horses and her home at Nancherrow. She began to run, her boot-bag thumping against her side; came to the long flight of granite steps which dropped to the railway station, and hurtled down them with the careless confidence of years of familiarity.Coming Home is a novel about tremendous victory and unprecedented loss, a story of faith and a forever kind of love, love that will stay with you long after the last page. When her new friend Loveday Carey-Lewis invites Judith home for the weekend to Nancherrow, the Carey-Lewises’ beautiful estate on the Cornish coast, it is love at first sight.

I can’t emphasize enough how much I enjoyed this, truly just spending so much time in Cornwall alone would be enough, but if you’re looking for a family drama type of story that is, in great parts, warm and fuzzy, a book both brilliantly written (print) and narrated on audio, and crosses through WWII, it would be hard to go wrong with this one. The Warrens were an intensely close family, and Heather could not imagine a worse fate than to be torn from her parents and her two older brothers, both as handsome and raven-haired as their father. Aunt Biddy, her mother’s sister, is more of a go-getter type and can be counted on in a pinch as well.From Judith to her bestfriend, Loveday Carey-Lewis, the inspiriing Diana, the haunting Gus, the stable Jeremy and the host of minor characters who come to life, this is a riveting read that takes you through the trauma of war and its effects on ordinary people living their lives as best they can.
