The House We Called Home

By Jenny Oliver

Published Jun 2018

The house where Stella and her sister Amy grew up never changes – the red front door, the breath-taking views over the Cornish coast, her parents in their usual spots on the sofa.  Except this summer, things feel a little different…

Stella’s father is nowhere to be seen, yet her mother – in suspiciously new Per Una jeans – seems curiously unfazed by his absence, and more eager to talk about her mysterious dog-walking buddy Mitch.

Stella’s sister Amy has returned home with a new boyfriend she can barely stand and a secret to hide, and Stella’s husband Jack has something he wants to get off his chest too.  Even Frank Sinatra, the dog, has a guilty air about him.

This summer, change is definitely in the air for the Whitehorns…

 

Brilliantly written, this is packed full of humour.  A perfect holiday read.
