'”Home” is as absorbing – and often entertaining – as any thriller … The result is a triumph.' Observer

'The idea behind “Home” is beautiful in its simplicity … An engrossing read.' Guardian

'Masterly and moving … A fascinating exercise in social history.' Daily Telegraph

'Pure magic … A wonderful book.' Philip Hensher, Spectator
