A Place to Call Home

Product Information

When Regina suspects that James is gay, she manipulates Amy into spying for her, which eventually forces Elizabeth to dismiss Amy with great sorrow. Abby is sent to live with her estranged Aunt and Uncle in rural Colorado, leaving behind her home in the city. You would normally attribute such a beginning to a crime novel, but no, this is how the new Carole Matthews book opens, and I have to say, it opened with quite a bang and, boy, did it capture my attention. With very different but beautifully crafted characters, I think this is one of Carole’s best books to date. We have a gang of a housewife, a manicurist and an old lady to bash the burly, gangly, macho abductors with spades and plant-pots and buntings!

The book offers a unique perspective on [topic of the book], and I walked away feeling enlightened, inspired, and entertained. A Claire é a menina da vila, filha da família mais influente da região – os que a povoaram e encheram de serviços.The North Carolina Cherokees are settling into their new home in Indian Territory and Britt Claiborne and Cherokee Rose are settling into married life.

O primeiro livro que li da autora foi a Doçura da Chuva cativou-me pela forma da sua escrita melodiosa, cuidada, fluida, simples, contagiante e criativa. It amazes me that after so many books, she can still pull off such a fascinating, well written, enjoyable novel with characters whom I adored dearly.Agrada a quem aprecia narrativas carregadas de laços familiares, de relações, de vidas unidas e separadas por sentimentos, afinidades, tradições, preconceitos e de uma vontade férrea de pertencer a algo ou a alguém.

Uma história de perdão e absolvição, amor, esperança, bondade e coragem que não deixará ninguém indiferente. It really says a lot about the talent of the author when a kid who is mute, whose life revolves around head nods and shakes becomes one of your favourite characters, ever, and little Sabina captured my heart in the way no character has for a while. Lidei com alguma impaciência as primeiras páginas; uma introdução genealógica da família algo confusa, com muitos nomes, muita informação. I just got that feeling, and I loved that it seemed as if this rag-tag bunch of people had always lived together, like this.But Britt knows he’s only doing what he must, not just because he’s a Christian, but for a reason he’s reluctant to reveal. Após o reencontro dos personagens segredos se vão revelar, um romance emocionante capaz de sobreviver a vinte anos de distância e às infelicidades do passado. Crystal, a lap dancer, has a tough exterior with a larger than life personality but also has a heart of gold whilst Joy, a former neighbour, is an elderly curmudgeon whose main enjoyment in life is the garden.

This book is the bes book i have read so far in 2014 and believe me i have read other very good books but this one is just so perfect!This wonderful book is a bit more serious and bit heavier than Carole Matthews usual offerings, but at the same time is still very gripping and enjoyable. Abby Earl told McWhirter, "We're locked in pre-production in August and then we start filming in September, so there's plenty of time for me to get back in Anna's shoes. For a long time, she gave up on any relationship with the Bligh family, and has had little contact for years.
