![]() ![]() My difficulty with the book is partly one of personal taste. Once that decision is made, the secrets begin to trickle out. It is only revealed because Madge, in her nineties, decides to sell part of Holly Close Farm with the proviso that the buyer must hire Charlie to be the architect for the house renovations. Madge kept her past a secret from all of her family and as the story develops you can see why. The other is the story of Madge, Charlie’s great-grandmother, and her love of a bomber pilot in World War II. One, of course, is the story of Charlie as she starts to rebuild her life. Charlie is a likable main character-smart, attractive, funny, and like many women, gullible when it comes to believing the one she loves.Īuthor Julie Houston’s book is actually two interwoven stories, and Houston handles that complexity well. Fallout of this revelation is that she also loses her home and job in one fell swoop. The tale begins with Charlie (Charlotte) having the worst Friday of her life when she discovers her lover is married with three children. I had strong mixed feelings as I read Coming Home to Holly Close Farm. ![]()
