Synopsis

Christina keeps a tight grip on the reins of her life, but it is turned upside down and she's forced to face the ghosts of her past when she's called home after her mother falls ill.

She has spent years avoiding her hometown but now, back in Galway, she discovers that the teenage bully who made her time at school unbearable is now a nurse caring for her mother. As she is drawn into her family's problems, the firm control she has maintained for the past twenty years is threatened.

"This is a highly character-driven novel, one that deftly explores relationships - familial, romantic and friendship - as the complexities of each of the characters' lives are revealed. ‘Homesick’ is a story with great emotional depth that will leave you both heartbroken yet full of hope and itching to hold your loved ones a little closer."

"It's a story that describes how what happens in childhood affects the rest of our lives and colours the way we see others but perhaps more importantly ourselves."
