Aaron and Bridge Quinlan's father has died and they are now traveling
to meet their mother and sister Franny at a huge property in the Pacific
Northwest to participate in the reading of his will. All of them are
confused when they learn that to claim their inheritance, they have to
stay on the property for thirty days without any contact with the
outside world. They find this strange, but ultimately they agree to this.
However, they will soon learn that the family has a lot of secrets...
I was really looking forward to reading THE HOMECOMING after reading the blurb. I love
reading books where a group of people is dumped in the middle of
nowhere and strange things happen. However, I found I had trouble
connecting both with the characters and the story. Aaron, the narrator,
just didn't work for me. I really can't explain it more than I found him not
very interesting. The siblings all seemed strange, and their relationship
with their father was odd and I wanted to know what the heck was
going on. Alas, the book was never thrilling in my opinion. Odd yes, but
the overall story wasn't as captivating as I was anticipating. However, I
will say that the ending was not what I expected, and when the truth is
finally revealed, it was fascinating.
Bestselling author Andrew Pyper returns with a riveting
psychological thriller about how the people you've known
your whole life can suddenly become
strangers.
What if everything you knew about
the people you loved was a lie?
After the death
of their absentee father, Aaron and Bridge Quinlan travel to
a vast rainforest property in the Pacific Northwest to hear
the reading of his will. There, they meet up with their
mother and troubled sister, Franny, and are shocked to
discover the will's terms: in order to claim their
inheritance they must all remain at the estate for thirty
days without any contact with the outside world. Despite
their concerns, they agree.
The Quinlans soon come to
learn their family has more secrets than they ever
imagined—revelations that at first inspire curiosity, then
fear. Why does Bridge have faint memories of the estate? Why
did their father want them to be sequestered there together?
And what is out there they feel pulling them into the dark
heart of the woods?
The Homecoming is at once
a gripping mystery, a chilling exploration of how our
memories can both define and betray us, and a riveting
page-turner that will have you questioning your very existence.
