4.0
Homecoming had some very powerful lines and moments.
Atmospheric and characters-driven, the way this book shades light on mother-daughter relationships, motherhood, mental health, roots and struggles was definitely captivating.
It is rather slow paced so it got lengthy at times (it’s quite a chunk of a book).
I had guessed one of the major plot twists but it didn’t take away the shock of the confirmation, especially considering the (too?) many others that were to come.
I had one issue with the book within the book format, which tends to take over the main narrative.
4 stars
Graphic: Child death, Death of parent, and Murder
