About this listen

You can't trust your future until you uncover your past....

Dragonfly Farm has been a home and a haven for generations of Melchiors - arch rivals to the Culbones, the wealthy family who live the other side of the valley.

Nestled amidst soft, rolling apple orchards in the depths of the Somerset countryside, life there is dictated by the seasons and cider-making.

The farm is idyllic and everyone falls under its spell. But its thick stone walls hold many secrets, and this summer everything will change for the family living there....

Laden with heady summertime atmosphere, A Home from Home is full of family drama and gorgeous scenes you wish you could step into: the very best of Veronica Henry's storytelling on her biggest ever canvas - crossing three generations of one family.

This does not disappoint. A galloping listen with interesting characters. Veronica Henry is one of my favourite authors, her books are always hugely enjoyable. Lighthearted but with enough pace and story to keep you listening. I’m always disappointed when they finish.

Love Veronica Henry

I was very excited to see a new Veronica Henry because I have enjoyed all her work so much. This book is a little romantic, perhaps even a little bit mushy at times, and the ending is just too perfect to be real, but this doesn’t in any way spoil the enjoyment.

The story is very cleverly woven, and all the threads come together beautifully at the end. All the main characters are warm and realistic, and feel like real people, fitting into the story perfectly in their own individual ways, making this a delightful listen.

Beautifully narrated by Alison Downing - I struggled a little bit at first, because I am so used to hearing Alison in her role in the Archers, and I thought she sounded a bit too sweet and whimsical, but this wore off, and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to her narration.

Recommended!

The combining of two families and the issues surrounding years of conflict was so cleverly tackled. Kept me intrigued all the way through. Loved it.

A great story with plenty of twists and turns, a nice easy gentle listen, where you didn’t have to think too much you just enjoyed the journey, would thoroughly recommend.

Brilliant!
