Book Review: At Home with The Templetons By Monica McInerney

(0 votes)

When the Templeton family from England takes up residence in a stately home in country Australia, they set the locals talking – and with good reason. From the outside, the seven Templetons seem so bohemian, unusual... peculiar even.

No one is more intrigued by the family than their neighbours, single mother Nina Donovan and her young son Tom. Before long, the two families' lives become entwined in unexpected ways, to the delight of Gracie, the sweetest of the Templeton children.

In the years that follow, the relationships between the Templetons and the two Donovans twist and turn in unpredictable and life-changing directions, until a tragedy tears them all apart. What will it take to bring them together again?

I felt like I was reading this book for years, not because it was slow or dragged but because The Author does such a great job of portraying the characters through their different stages of life that you really feel as though you are watching them grow up.

The characters are both charming and amusing and very easy to become attached too. The main plot and sub plots kept me intrigued until the very last page and I would love to read a sequel of this heartwarming story.
