Harriet Evans has managed to capture many different characters and give them distinct personalities in almost all of her novels that I've read. Going Home is no exception. This book was enjoyable and extremely well-written.Lizzy Walter is the main character and the author has given her great depth of character. The story sets off with Lizzy who leaves her tiny flat in London for a holiday back home with her family in the country. Her family is charming and engaging.Her Uncle returns with a surprise visitor and things slowly start spinning out of control. You can almost feel Lizzy's placid life turning in to a tumultuous train-wreck.She must learn to let go before she can move on, grow up and love again.
