Description
A Place Called Home is a poignant tale set in Cliffehaven in 1946, where the echoes of war linger in the hearts of its residents. As the dust of conflict settles, Peggy Reilly is overjoyed to reunite with her husband, Jim, who has returned from Burma. However, after the horrors Jim has endured, settling back into life at Beach View will not be easy, and the couple must find a way through together. The novel delicately explores themes of love, resilience, and the complexity of healing in the aftermath of war.
The Plot
Alongside Peggy's journey, we meet evacuee Ruby Clark, who faces a great deal when her estranged mother reappears after a long prison sentence. With more heartache still ahead, Ruby will lean on her Beach View family more than ever. The intertwining lives of Peggy and Ruby paint a vivid picture of the struggles faced by women in post-war Britain, as they seek strength and community amidst their trials.

- Recovery and resilience in the face of trauma
