Home Leave - Premium Home Fragrance Diffuser for Relaxation & Stress Relief | Perfect for Living Rooms, Bedrooms & Offices

This simmering novel nails it in one. Chris knows that even worse than recovering from the death if their teen age daughter would be for the family to go back to the way they had been. "Who would they be if they did that? He doesn't want that either." "Home Leave" achieves that bewitching match if a somewhat breezy story with astute observations of the travels of loss in the world. He and his wife had left the Midwest to travel as expats with their two daughters. Even before Sophie's death, there are echoes of the skins that shed as people change and move. Their mostly homeless life points to the roots we heedlessly set with every chance.There are some quirky chapters that really gave me pause. I was sure I hated the soliloquy of a family home now uninhabited right until I loved it. Similarly, Sophie appears as a character in a few family scenarios after the point at which she had died. But her participation is deftly drawn and quite frankly charming in the true sense. This is a lovely novel which I am pleased to recommend.
