The house we called home

Irresistible, feel-good fiction from Top 10 bestselling author Jenny Oliver… ***Shortlisted for The Golsboro Books Contemporary Romantic Novel Award*** Bestselling author Debbie Johnson says Jenny Oliver writes about ‘love, humour, family and hope – the perfect ingredients for a summer read'. Escape with Jenny Oliver’s next uplifting read, The Summer We Ran Away, available June 2020!! The house where Stella and her sister Amy grew up never changes – the red front door, the breath-taking view over the Cornish coast, her parents in their usual spots on the sofa.

Except this summer, things feel a little different… Stella’s father is nowhere to be seen, yet her mother – in suspiciously new Per Una jeans – seems curiously unfazed by his absence, and more eager to talk about her mysterious dog-walking buddy Mitch. Stella’s sister Amy has returned home with a new boyfriend she can barely stand and a secret to hide, and Stella’s husband Jack has something he wants to get off his chest too.

Even Frank Sinatra, the dog, has a guilty air about him. This summer, change is in the air for the Whitethorns… Warm, funny and gloriously feel-good, this is the perfect summer read for fans of Veronica Henry and Milly Johnson.
