Format:Paperback
I was so excited to see the McCabe sisters reunited for this new book from Ms North, having loved Pip, Cat and Fen individually in their own titles... when the girls mother unexpectantly turns up at their Uncle Djangos birthday party (having been on the missing list since running away with a cowboy from Denver when the girls were young), it sets off a series of revelations that turns the girls lives on their heads. Tackling the relationships between the girls themselves, their partners, their Uncle and their mother, this story really gets to grips with the precious issue of family and at times it really touched a nerve with me. It may not be as funny as some of her previous books, but its just as gripping and keeps you glued till you turn the final page.

I was given this as a gift - and at first I thought it looked like a nice bit of switch-yer-brain off chick-lit (I haven't read her other work). But it isn't - there's no self-obsessed calorie-counting, chardonnay-swilling singletons in this book! Actually, it's a very moving family saga - about three sisters hitting their thirties and taking stock of all that 'family' means. Their mother abandoned them when they were young and their eccentric uncle brought them up (brilliant character). I really cared about all the characters especially when the twists and turns of the plot really get underway. Tough issues like terminal illness, infidelity and blood-ties are dealt with sensitively. All in all, I was pleasantly suprised by this book - and intend to read her other novels.

Having read Freya North's other books about the sisters, I thoroughly enjoyed this one with them all together. It was a really interesting window onto family life and, although less funny than her other books, this one was more poignant and well observed. I found myself identifying with bits of all the girls, but in particular with new mum Fen! Well written. Thoroughly recommend.

unputdownable...
Freya North has once again produced a book that was simply unputdownable; the McCabe sisters, re-united this time, were still as loveable, quirky and addictive as the first time... Read more

a bit depressing!
I've read all Freya North's books leading up to this one so looked forward to reading Home Truths. It started off at a good pace but I began to lose interest about halfway... Read more

superb - and worth the wait.
At last chick lit grows up. Not that Freya North is really chick-lit - her books were out long before that bangwagon rolled into town. Read more
