Homecoming

Adelaide Hills, Christmas Eve 1959. One hot day, a local resident stumbles upon a creepy sight by the creek of a luxurious estate. The police arrive, and the town of Tumbilla finds itself at the center of the most mysterious investigation in the history of South Australia.

Many years later, thousands of kilometers away, journalist Jess is looking for material for an article. Having lived in London for almost two decades, she is unemployed and barely making ends meet. And suddenly she is forced to return to Sydney, because her beloved grandmother Nora, who raised Jess instead of a mother, is in hospital.

In Nora's house, Jess finds a novel-investigation of a long-forgotten criminal case about the tragedy of the Turner family. Rereading the book, Jess learns about the incredible connection between her own family and that notorious event, the secret of which has never been solved.

An epic story spanning generations that makes you wonder what we would do for those we love, how far we'll go to protect our own lies, and what it's like to come home. But above all, it's a gripping and cleverly woven novel by one of the greatest writers of our time.
