Finding Home by Kate Field is a lovely read when you need to feel inspired. It made me cheer and smile from start to finish.
Mim is a scarred woman, and helping Bea and Bill causes those scars to fade in ways she would never have imagined. I love Mim's independence and determination and how she does not let people run over her. The characters are all well-developed though I wish that Mim's development included stories from her childhood that framed her choices today.
Corin is my favorite character. I love that he has not let wealth turn him into someone who is unbearably entitled and instead lives modestly and wears sweaters with holes in them – so eccentric.
I was frustrated with the last 25% of the book because I could not figure out why in the world Mim would make the choices she did. That is where I think stories from her childhood could help explain them and make them understandable, if not still misguided.
My favorite aspect of the story is the setting. I love a beach setting, especially one that takes place in a small village. It makes me feel all the good vibes that this story is trying to portray.
This is an excellent read for people who are looking for that lovely, light read that will make them feel good from the inside out.

A heart warming and poignant story that moved me, made me smile and root for the characters.
It made me crave to be in Devon, root for the characters and kept me entertained till the end.
Recommended.
