After the victory the boys are coming home…..
We have two main protagonists: Megan and Steven who play wonderful and touching roles in this beautifully written story. The secondary characters help this drama to move forward.
A short synopsis:
After a long correspondence with Steven during his time away Megan has been anxiously waiting for his return. She has deep affection for him and only hopes her feelings are mutual.
Once home, Steven’s desire is to have his own farm. Bad blood between brothers is raging so Steven has to go on his own but the road ahead is not an easy one. With Megan off to college to finish her degree in teaching Steven struggles to build a home for both of them. Poor Steven has to jump one hurdle after the other but with the help of family, friends and neighbours he is on the right track to success. As all romantic stories unfold the hard work pays off and everything turns out all right. AWE….
My thoughts:
What a nice and heartwarming story this turned out to be. The story depicts the struggles of the time and the hardships the men returning home had to face along with their love ones. The book is easy to read although I found the tempo to be very slow moving but what it does well is to vividly bring to life the reality of post war rural Scotland. In this type of soft romance you can see how everything will end, from the get-go it was a given that Steven and Megan would end up together….no secrets there…..
“Coming Home “is a cute classic story of love and hope.
