Format:Paperback
Cunningham's novel is both incredibly deep whilst being totally endearing to those who seek a different way in their approach to life, love and self-awareness. This is a piece of work that rivals those of Kerouac in exploring both the world without and within and finding one's place within them both.

Format:Paperback
Cunningham evokes that sense of dislocation from society than many of us feel, together with the seemingly endless search for somewhere to call 'home'. Beautifully written, it reaches out to anyone who has ever wondered where they fit in.

Format:Paperback
Michael Cunningham may have won the Pulitzer for The Hours, but A Home at The End of The World is, for me, his best novel. Beautifully written, with an intensely spare lyrical voice, Cunningham examines that hardest of questions - when exactly is it that we have to grow up and take responsibility for our decisions?

Home is a place to escape from... and to return to.
At first it took me a few pages to get into this book, possibly because the first person narrator moves from a character to another, creating a slight initial disorientation. Read more
