About this listen

When the body of pregnant 15-year-old Hope Lacey is discovered in a churchyard on Christmas morning, the community is shocked, but unsurprised. For Hope lived in The Home, the residence of three young girls, whose violent and disturbing pasts have seen them cloistered away.

As a police investigation gets underway, the lives of Hope, Lara and Annie are examined, and the staff who work at the home are interviewed, leading to shocking and distressing revelations...and clear evidence that someone is seeking revenge.

A gritty, dark and devastating psychological thriller, The Home is also an emotive drama and a piercing look at the underbelly of society, where children learn what they live...if they are allowed to live at all.

It can be hard making a bunch of voices of the same gender different enough to not be confusing to the listener. This set of narrators did it very well.
As far as the story is concerned, it is obviously very little to do with the mystery of the death and more about the sad pasts of each girl. It was good. I recommend listening to this as an Audiobook.
