Description

From beloved international bestselling author Hannah Richell
comes a spellbinding novel about the secrets brought to the surface when a
large family gathers for a wedding.

Can the damage of the past ever be healed?

In their ramshackle
Somerset home, with its lush gardens running down to the river, the Sorrells
have gathered for a last-minute wedding--an occasion that is met with trepidation
by each member of the family.

Lucy,
the bride, has begged her loved ones to attend--not telling them that she has
some important news to share once they've gathered. Her prodigal baby sister,
Margot, who left home after a devastating argument with their mother,
reluctantly agrees, though their family home is the site of so much pain for her.
Meanwhile, their eldest sister, Eve, has thrown herself into a tailspin
planning the details of the wedding--anything to distract herself from how her
own life is unraveling--and their long-separated artist parents are forced to
play the roles of cheerful hosts through gritted teeth.

As the Sorrells come
together for a week of celebration and confrontation, their painful memories
are revisited and their relationships stretched to the breaking point.

Moving, poignant, and
unforgettable, The River Home
showcases once again Hannah Richell's talent for creating characters readers
can relate to--and telling stories that linger in the mind long after the final
page.
