Estamos en 1935. Judith Dunbar, una chica de catorce años, es acogida por una familia muy especial que marcará significativamente su adolescencia. La suntuosa casa de campo que los Carey-Lewis poseen en Cornualles, idílica región del sudoeste de Inglaterra, se convierte en su segundo hogar. Sin embargo, turbada por el despertar de su propia sexualidad y tras una frustrante relación amorosa con Edward, el hijo mayor de la familia, Judith decide hacerse dueña de su propio destino. Lejos de allí, los vientos de guerra que se ciernen sobre Europa se desatan repentinamente. Judith está dispuesta a colaborar en la lucha contra el nazismo, lucha que le toca muy de cerca. Su padre cae prisionero de los japoneses, su madre desaparece. Edward es arrestado por los acontecimientos... La vida de Judith parece hundirse en un infierno de locura y barbarie. Pero en medio del caos, surgirá alguien que siempre ha estado a su lado, aunque ella no lo supiera

First Sentence
"The Porthkerris Council School stood half-way up the step hill which climbed from the heart of the little town to the empty moors which lay beyond."
Work Description
Against the backdrop of an elegant Cornwall mansion before World War II and a vast continent-spanning canvas during the turbulent war years, this involving story tells of an extraordinary young woman's coming of age, coming to grips with love and sadness, and in every sense of the term, coming home...
In 1935, Judith Dunbar is left behind at a British boarding school when her mother and baby sister go off to join her father in Singapore. At Saint Ursula's, her friendship with Loveday Carey-Lewis sweeps her into the privileged, madcap world of the British aristocracy, teaching her about values, friendship, and wealth. But it will be the drama of war, as it wrenches Judith from those she cares about most, that will teach her about courage...and about love.
Teeming with marvelous, memorable characters in a novel that is a true masterpiece, "Coming Home" is a book to be savored, reread, and cherished forever.
Winner of the Romantic Novel of the Year Award (1996) by Romantic Novelists' Association.
