A review by serendipitysbooks
Homecoming by Luan Goldie

reflective medium-paced

3.5

 Homecoming is a story of love, friendship, family, figuring out who you are and coming to terms with the past. It’s set over a twenty year period, shifts between the UK and Kenya and is centred on the friendship between Emma and Yvonne, Emma’s son Kiama and his father Lewis. Emma died when Kiama was young and now, ten years later, he has decided to return to Kenya where she died, and asks Yvonne to accompany him.

I liked the structure of the book but found many of the characters frustrating. I kept turning pages wanting to find out exactly what had happened to Emma but was ultimately left underwhelmed by the revelation.

I didn’t dislike this book but it is one I’ve quickly forgotten.
