Back Home

Bethan Darwin

Winner of the Pure Gold Libraries award.

Ellie has fallen in love with a high-flying City lawyer, but when her heart gets broken there s not much choice but to decamp from their illicit 5 star love-nest in Primrose Hill to the rather more humdrum confines of her grandad Trevor's house in Clapham. Finding herself back home isn't all bad. Ellie can always hit the backpacker trail again, or maybe find a job she enjoys enough to stick at the solicitor's office she's temping in this time is trying to help people keep their kids, or a roof over their heads, not launch a corporate raid on the City. And it s lovely spending time with Trevor, drinking tea from real china cups, swapping wine tips with her mum, or sorting out her best friend Gina's torrid love life.But just when it looks like everything is shaping up tickety-boo , there's a knock on the door that turns Trevor's world upside down and takes them all back to the Welsh Valleys in wartime...
