Home Again

By: Kristin Hannah

Narrated by: Tanya Eby

At the center of Home Again is Madelaine - a brilliant cardiologist, a loving mother, a tender friend, and a woman full of self-doubt. It is also the story of her confused and angry daughter, Lina, and of the two very different men Madelaine loves: Francis, a priest searching for his faith, and Angel, a talented but cynical man with a broken heart. When tragedy suddenly brings them all together, they must learn to forgive the betrayals of the past and find the courage to love again.

Critic reviews

"A memorable story of love and redemption.” ( Library Journal)

“All the world loves Kristin Hannah.” ( Newsday)

Cliched but a nice listen

A heart surgeon and single mom. Her rebellious teenage daughter wanting to know who her father is. Her childhood friends, a priest and his brother, a substance abusing actor who needs a heart transplant. I bet you could fill in the plot with a high degree of accuracy.

Kristin Hannah is one of my favorite writers, however, this novel, written early in her career is cliche-filled, flat filled will one dimensional characters and a predictable plot. I can't explain why enjoyed the novel but might even read it again at some point on the future, thus four stars.

Being home again to the PNW

Very much enjoyed tge story line. Returning, asking for forgiveness, forgiving and restating is what life is about.

Enjoyable

I liked it. I didn’t love it. Very predictable.
I enjoyed the connections of all the characters but found it too predictable.
A good story though. Kinda like a Hallmark movie.

Too sappy for me

Possibly earlier work thus the snappiness; I did listen to the end but had it all figured almost immediately. Just not my kind of novel!

Beautiful story

A bit predictable in parts, but none the less, heartwarming and beautifully written. Well worth listening.
