About this listen
***Penny Parkes' brilliant new novel MAYBE TOMORROW is out now!***
'Moving, hopeful and heartfelt... an ideal book group read' AJ Pearce, author of Dear Mrs Bird
A gripping and heartfelt story about overcoming the past and finding where you belong.
Anna Wilson travels the world as a professional housesitter – stepping into other people’s lives - caring for their homes, pets and sometimes even neighbours. Living vicariously.
But all Anna has ever really wanted is a home of her own – a proper one, filled with family and love and happy memories. If only she knew where to start.
Growing up in foster care, she always envied her friends their secure and carefree lives, their certainty and confidence. And, while those same friends may have become her family of choice, Anna is still stuck in that nomadic cycle, looking for answers, trying to find the courage to put down roots and find a place to call home.
Compelling, rich and evocative, Home is Anna’s journey to discovering that it isn’t where you settle down that matters, but the people you have around you when you do.
‘I loved this warm and touching story about home, belonging, and finding your way in the world. Vivid, evocative and beautifully written, with a message of hope at its heart’ Holly Miller, author of The Sight of You
'Friends are where the heart is… I very much enjoyed this thoughtful and absorbing novel' Kate Eberlen, author of Only You
'A gorgeous, thoughtful read' Catherine Isaac, author of The World at My Feet
'Clever, warm and funny, Penny writes with a big heart, a light touch and supreme confidence. Home will be on all the best bookshelves! The ultimate comfort read' Veronica Henry, author of A Wedding at the Beach Hut
'As heartbreaking as it is uplifting, this book wouldn’t leave me. I loved it’ Katie Fforde, author of A Wedding in the Country
Critic reviews
Well written but long-winded
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I have never read a book like this before. I didn't even think about jobs where you can actually be paid to look after someone's house whilst they are on holiday. So to write a book about that I think Penny Parkes did brilliantly.
Laura Kirman always does a great job at narrating.
This is a listen that I recommend.

Felt it would have been better if it was not so long. Liked the characters in the book but found the introspection repetitive and dull.
Narrator very good.
