The Place We Call Home

By: Faith Hogan

Narrated by: Caroline Lennon

Welcome to Ballycove, the home of Corrigan Mills...

Set against the backdrop of the beautiful Irish countryside the famed Corrigan Mills are run by the seemingly perfect Corrigan family, but every family has its secrets, and they don't always stay hidden.

Ada has forever lived her life in her sister's shadow. Wanting only to please her mother and take over the family business, now Ada has to take a look at what her heart really wants.

Callie has a flourishing international career and a man who loves her dearly, she appears to have it all. But when she's unceremoniously turfed out of the design world, Callie might just get what she's been yearning for. The chance to go home.

Simon has always wanted more. More money, more fame, more notoriety. The problem child. Simon has more enemies than friends, and when one of his latest schemes falls foul he'll have to return to the people who always believe in him.

Ballycove isn't just a small Irish town. It's a place to call home.

Faith lives in the west of Ireland with her husband, four children and two very fussy cats. She has an Hons Degree in English Literature and Psychology, has worked as a fashion model and in the intellectual disability and mental health sector.

My third Faith Hogan book. Dissapointed

The storyline wasn’t particularly engaging. I’m also not fond of books that portray mothers with obvious favourite children — the sort they claim to “understand and relate to better” — especially when it is made so blatantly clear.
Leaving aside the brother, who seemingly hasn’t done an honest day’s work in his life, there are also two sisters, both hardworking in their own ways.
The younger sister is creative, enjoys the outdoors, had a ten-year affair with a married man, worked for an impressive fashion company, and generally embraces life. The older sister is more detail-oriented, prefers numbers, isn’t particularly outdoorsy, has been married for twenty years, and is deeply committed to the family business, where she has worked alongside her mother for most of her life. She is portrayed as working so hard that she hardly has any time to enjoy her own life.
Care to guess which sister is the favourite…?
