Although it is not strictly necessary, it is advisable to read "Emily" the predecessor to this book.
Going home is a reveting and compelling read, telling the story of an extended family living the opposite sides of the world in the 19th Century. The past is relevant to the future and the future relevant to the past. One young man searching for his roots and a sense of belonging, his path crosses with the dark grim and cruel past to discover his identiy and destiny.
The characters are portrayed vividly, and the breathtaking scenery described enabling you to be there, to feel the sun beating down on you, and to smell and taste the sea upon your face.
Valerie Wood rarely disappoints her readers. She describes the local countryside and towns as though she were alive during the era. You can easily be caught up in the novel as though you were yourself walking in the windswept countryside, or along the busy and depressing streets of Hull. She catches the essence of the time and portrays it into one novel that weaves a web of mystery, intrigue, depths of despair, hope, romance and happiness.
I was unable to put the book down and read from cover to cover in one evening, and I now await impateiently the follow on book
