Critics Review
-
A good story well told
Choice
-
Finding Home rewards every second the reader spends with it. A creator of wonderfully memorable characters, even McAuley's secondary creations are complex, well realised and morally interesting figures. McAuley has a Maeve Binchy-like capacity to give her characters quirks and turns of phrase that make them seem instantly true-to-life and compellling
