The Home | Sarah Stovell
3 posts | 3 read | 9 to read
When the body of pregnant, 15-year-old Hope Lacey is discovered in a churchyard on Christmas morning, the community is shocked, but unsurprised. For Hope lived in The Home, the residence of three young girls, whose violent and disturbing pasts have seen them cloistered away. As a police investigation gets underway, the lives of Hope, Lara and Annie are examined, and the staff who work at the home are interviewed, leading to shocking revelations and clear evidence that someone is seeking revenge. A gritty, dark and devastating psychological thriller, The Home is also an emotive drama and a piercing look at the underbelly of society, where children learn what they live--if they are allowed to live at all.

It‘s not an easy read by any means as it deals with child prostitution, abuse, violence and murder. All told in such a way it‘s so believable and utterly tragic.

a harrowing tale, full of emotions, love, anger, fear and utter despair at times and makes an uncomfortable read. Beautifully written and so utterly compelling. It will grab you by the heartstrings and not let go. Heartbreaking and unforgettable. A 5* must read.

Moray_Reads Great cover, a tentative stack because I'm not sure I could get through it 4y
Lel2403 @Moray_Reads it can be a difficult read at times due to the subject matter, but it‘s not graphic or sensationalist, just honest. It‘s a murder mystery but so much more. I love it.... 4y

“The Home” is a hard hitting, compelling read about the death of a vulnerable young girl and the circumstances that lead to it. It‘s not a walk in the park, but rather an intelligent story full of emotion. I‘m giving this one 4 stars!
