Forever Home

A Novel

By: Graham Norton

Narrated by: Graham Norton

“Wonderful. . . . Dark, funny, full of emotional intelligence and gripping from the start . . . beautifully written.”—Daily Mail

The internationally bestselling author and host of The Graham Norton Show returns with a tense and darkly comic novel that casts a caustic light on the relationship between mothers and daughters and truth and self-preservation.

Where do secrets live?

Carol is a divorced teacher living in a small town in Ireland, her only son now grown. A second chance at love brings her unexpected connection and belonging—and sparks a flurry of speculation. What does a woman like her see in a man like that? What happened to his wife who abandoned him and his children all those years ago? Carol and Declan know their relationship is the talk of the town, but the gossip only serves to bring the couple closer.

When Declan becomes ill, their relationship falters. His children are untrusting and cruel, and Carol is forced to leave their beloved home, with its worn oak floors and elegant features, and move back with her parents.

Carol’s mother is determined to get to the bottom of things—she won't see her daughter suffer this way. It seems there are secrets in Declan's past, strange rumors that were never confronted, and suddenly the house they shared takes on a more sinister significance that affects them all.

Amazing.

Another wonderful book from Graham Norton!! His narration is flawless, as is his storytelling. Highly recommend this listen!!!

Special

This is a story filled with fun suprises, and the kind of characters that only Graham Norton would create, and I loved them all. There was an awful murder scene but there were no evil people in this story! Not even the protagonist! I guess you say character driven, and Graham voiced them so well. It was a page Turner.

Well done funny!

I loved it. It was hilarious. The characters popped off the page. Great writing and great reader.

Deliciously complicated

In words that I could hear Grahm using, I found this to be deliciously complicated. Lol
Although a bit windy in places, it is a darkly heartfelt tale with wit and grace sprinkled throughout. It just feels like I sat down for tea with Graham and he told me a story. Love listening to his books.

Great fun

Absolutely a wonderful “read!”lI know these people! Each character stood out on their own Graham is natural story teller, narrator! Overall I will revisit this adventure again.

Forever Home

Graham does a brilliant job reading it. I can literally imagine myself standing in my mothers kitchen!

A-One

Engaging

Great narrator, strong, fun story, wonderful characters, look forward to listening to more of his books.

character twists and turns

I love the variety of character traits and personalities. I felt empathy for some, angry at other others and sympathy for some.
