Homecoming

£9.99

Security, a sparkling sea view and the best kind of neighbours – The Starlings gated community has it all. Here, doors are left open, children run free, and at the heart of it all is the entrepreneurial Gold Family, who first dreamed up this aspirational vision of ‘Dorset’s Safest Community’. To the outside world the popular family appears glitteringly blessed – until an idyllic party takes a dark turn and one of their number is found slumped at the foot of the clocktower. Who knows what really happened? And what answers are harboured within the old building, the former Highcap Mother and Baby Home?

Description

‘Dark, insidious, unsettling, fabulous.’ Sharon Bolton

We thought we were building paradise. We didn’t know we were building it on graves.

The Starlings is everything you could want – luxury homes, ocean views, security gates. The Gold Family transformed a derelict building into Dorset’s most exclusive community. Everyone who lives here is living their dream. Until someone falls from the clock tower during a summer party.

When the police start investigating, residents start remembering what this building used to be. The Highcap Mother and Baby Home, where unmarried girls were sent. Where babies disappeared. Where screams were ignored.

Some histories can’t be buried. Some pasts demand payment. And someone in The Starlings knows exactly what happened here decades ago. Because they never left.

Homecoming by Isabel Ashdown is perfect for fans of Big Little Lies and Little Fires Everywhere.
