The Forever Home

Three women, one old country house and a second chance at happiness.
Reading guide
The Forever Home is a standalone novel, so there is no need to read anything beforehand.
Cassie and Nina meet as new neighbours at Hope Hall and form a close friendship, each carrying her own worries. Venetia's arrival brings a lively presence and a handbag full of secrets, and her history with the house slowly comes to light. As the three women grow closer, they find strength in one another and the courage to face the past.

Description

Hope Hall was once a grand country house in the Cambridgeshire countryside, and it is now divided into handsome apartments. When Cassie and Nina move in as neighbours, they quickly become firm friends. Cassie is happily in love with Ben, but the shadows of her first marriage still threaten her happiness. Nina, a widow, faces a painful decision that will break her mother-in-law's heart.

Then comes Venetia, a lively seventy-nine-year-old who keeps her secrets close, one of them tucked away in her handbag. As Venetia recalls her own bittersweet history with the house, the bonds between the three women grow stronger. Erica James writes with warmth and a wry eye about family, friendship and the weight of the past, making this a gentle, generous novel for anyone who believes it is never too late to start again.
