A review by jose_kg
Homecoming by Luan Goldie

Did not finish book. Stopped at 41%.

This was a mystery book that was sent to me. I had hopes that it would be a bit like Half of a Yellow Sun but, at least what I read, was a lot more rooted in the mundanity of the UK, which is fine, it's just not what I was expecting. 

I didn't really connect with the characters. On the surface the narrative is told from the perspective of Yvonne and Kiama, but the focus is squarely on Kiama's parents, Lewis and Emma, particularly Emma. 170 pages in I felt I knew a lot more about Lewis and Emma than I did about the "main" characters. 

Overall I just didn't really find the story compelling, I might give it another go in the future but for right now I'm done.
