Homecoming

Homecoming

Belva Plain
3.7/5 ( ratings)
From the "New York Times" bestselling author of "Promises" and "Secrecy" comes a stunning novel of a family divided and the proud matriarch who takes a bold last stand to unite her warring children in what may be their last "Homecoming."
It is a crisp December day when Annette Byrne walks to the end of her long, curving driveway and drops five sealed envelopes into the mailbox. Quickly. Before second thoughts stay her hand. Shortly thereafter, with the holidays approaching, her estranged family, intimate enemies, will be gathered at her country estate for the first time in years.
The sons. . . two brothers embittered by a breach of ethics, honor, and trust. The grandchildren. . . one young couple on the verge of divorce; another, lovingly united against the parents who have tarnished their lives. As the ill-fated meeting hurtles toward a bitter and abrupt conclusion, not even Annette Byrne's indomitable will can heal the rift--until a shattering event alters the landscape forever.
With unerring insight and emotional power, Belva Plain has created a beautiful, heartrending story of healing, love, and forgiveness. Lindsay Crouse, a long-time veteran of Broadway and regional theater, has appeared in such stage productions as "Hamlet, Richard II" and David Mamet's "Reunion." On television, she guest-starred on "Columbo, Murder, She Wrote, L.A. Law" and "E.R." Highlights of her film credits include "All the President's Men, The Juror," and "Places in the Heart," for which she received an Academy Award nomination.
