Make Yourself at Home by Ciara Geraghty

3.0

Marianne’s life seems to falling apart, her husband has left her to have babies with another woman, she has been convicted of shoplifting and consequently has had her home repossessed by the bank. So with nowhere else left to go she returns to live with her mother. There is an unfolding story here of loss, - of a sister, of a mother, of self but this a hopeful tale of rebuilt relationships, of learning to live again and of redemption. It took me a while to get my teeth into this book, but I reached the point where I cared about Marianne and her relationship with her mother and was hooked in to this gentle and often funny story. The recipes at the end were a real bonus - I love books that include recipes! Thank you to #netgalley and #Harpercollins for a review copy in exchange for an honest review.
