The Place We Call Home by Faith HoganHogan wrote a mesmerizing epic love story that spans generations and families. Set in the beautiful western part of Ireland, where the beauty of nature lavishes in a place where your heart will settle, love will flourish, and definitely have all the right ingredients to call this place home. That is Ballycove.Miranda Reilly met Richard Blair, a Londoner, in Ballycove as he spent his summers there for years with his grandparents and they became very close chil...
Wow!I feel like I’ve just binge-watched my next favourite series on Netflix. It’s a case of once you start you just can’t stop! Do I need to duck for cover when I make this admission? *winces* Okay, here goes – this was my first Faith Hogan read...I know, right? Calm your jets! (Yup, I totally wanted to say something else here, but *shrugs* this is the PG version *snorts*.) In my defence, I will just say it’s that old adage of ‘too many books not enough time’ and I want to thank the person who w...
We ran out of heating oil on Saturday (due to a combination of a monitor on the blink and the distraction of Christmas – don’t ask.) As a result, our house has been freezing, just as Storm Brendan blew in. Brrrrrr!Why am I telling you this? Because the one thing that has warmed me through while I’ve been waiting for a fuel delivery is reading this charming novel. It has left me with a happy glow, a bit like the Ready Brek kid from the advert, and I was both loathe and happy to get to the gorgeou...
Set in Ballycove, Western Ireland, The Place We Call Home is a beautifully written, realistic and deeply emotional family saga which spans the generations with its a perfectly interweaving plot which delves into the past and connects it with the present. I love how Faith Hogan delves deep into the Irish way of life in Ballycove, it adds to the story and the characters, which I think makes everything feel very real and authentic.The setting is absolutely perfect, each scene is vivid and adds a ma...
Favorite Quotes:It’s no place for a child, not really. Old Lord Blair is as odd as a hen in a hairdresser’s.The years had taken inches from his height and added it to his waistband; his hair had greyed into the kind of silky thickness most women of his age would trade their best shoes for.In that moment, Ada felt such a mixture of emotion for this man who had always stood by her, but who had turned into someone she hardly saw any more. He blended with the furniture of her life, so much so that s...
Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!Corrigan Mills in Ballycove wove the finest wool. Miranda and husband Paddy became the owners through a hand of fate. And now after Paddy's death and her health scare, she had to take some decisions. Her children Ada, Callie and Simon too needed to decide what they wanted from life. Then there was Richard Blair, the original owner and his son Daniel.It was exactly 03:16 am when I wrote this review. A book which was supposed to be just an appetizer for the Sunday r...
Well it takes a lot for me to not like any character in a book, but this book definitely managed that. I almost Did Not Finish at 25 percent but pushed through because I hoped that maybe, just maybe things would get better. They did not. The characters were not developed and what was there made them all unlikeable. The plot was really thin. The ending was just there. I can't say much more about it."The Place We Call Home" follows the Corrigan family. The matriarch, Miranda, has been running the
The Place We Call Home is a beautiful, epic love story that I was absolutely absorbed by. Faith Hogan’s writing is absolutely wonderful and I just want to open this book up and read again.I love how Faith Hogan weaves the past and present together and tells a story that is just fabulous. The amazing cast of characters in this intimate town setting just add to this story. I love how realistic they are and I felt like I knew them.I could just keep going about how amazing I think this story is. The...
