A review by amy_park
Homesick by Jennifer Croft

dark emotional medium-paced

3.5

I read this book due to it being longlisted for the women's prize for fiction 2023, the premise intrigued me as I love books focusing on siblings. This book didn't dissapoint, it was heartbreaking and moving. I related to the relationship between Amy and Zoe, although I did find the third-person child perspective grating at times and was dissapointed the narrative voice didn't develop as Amy got older, overall I did enjoy. Topics covered were heartbreaking and not for the fainthearted, I would suggest reading content warnings prior to reading. 

Shout out to Charco Press as I loved the quality of the bounding and paper used to create the novel, will definitely read more from the publisher in the future and also intend to read some of Jennifer's translated blacklist as well.
