Homecoming – Cathy Kelly

Description

Homecoming by Cathy Kelly is a heartwarming novel about love, second chances, and the connections that shape our lives. Eleanor Levine, a woman who left Ireland years ago, returns to Dublin after many years. With just a suitcase and her mother’s treasured recipe book, Eleanor comes back to Golden Square, a place full of memories and bittersweet reflection. As she settles into her old home, she finds herself becoming entwined in the lives of the women who live in the square.

The story delves into the lives of three very different women. Megan Bouchier, once a successful actress, now seeks refuge after her life spirals out of control. Connie O’Callaghan, a big-hearted teacher approaching forty, has lost hope in finding true love, unable to match the men in her romantic novels. Rae, the loyal friend and wife, works at Titania’s Tea Room and provides support to those around her, but a long-held secret threatens everything she holds dear. The novel explores how their lives intersect, bringing about moments of healing, discovery, and self-realisation.

Cathy Kelly’s Homecoming is an emotional journey that captures the essence of friendship, love, and the challenges that life throws at us. Perfect for readers who enjoy stories with strong female characters, rich emotional depth, and a sense of community.
