In this "compelling, bighearted, emotionally precise page-turner" (Sunday Times), the New York Times bestselling writer and acclaimed television host explores the aftermath of a tragedy on a small-town to illuminate the shame and longing that can flow through generations -- and how the secrets of the heart cannot stay be buried forever.

It is 1987 and a small Irish community is preparing for a wedding. The day before the ceremony, a group of young friends, including the bride and groom, are involved in an accident. Three survive. Three are killed.

The lives of the families are shattered and the rifts between them ripple throughout the small town. Connor survived, but living among the angry and the mourning is almost as hard as carrying the shame of having been the driver. He leaves the only place he knows for another life, taking his secrets with him. Travelling first to Liverpool, then London, he eventually makes a home -- of sorts -- for himself in New York, where he finds shelter and the possibility of forging a new life.

But the secrets -- the unspoken longings and regrets that have come to haunt those left behind -- will not be silenced. Before long, Connor will have to confront his past.

A powerful and timely novel of emigration and return, Home Stretch demonstrates Norton's keen understanding of the power of stigma and secrecy -- and their devastating effect on ordinary lives.

Another Stunner!

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2023

Verified Purchase

Another stunner from Graham Norton! I found the first few chapters hard to get through (due to the subject matter), but after that I couldn't stop.
This is 3rd book of fiction that I've now read. I eagerly await his next novel.

Engaging and absorbing

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2024

Verified Purchase

I was surprised and delighted to enjoy this family saga set in rural Ireland so much. The tension holds with twists, turns and reveals, and wry, often witty observations read well and ring true. I was reminded of Maeve Binchy and her acute ability to capture the Irish ways and characters, and I can think of no higher recommendation

Never knew that Graham Norton was an author until The View (ABC)! Have watched his talk show from the beginning. Read his one novel available on Kindle Unlimited. It was so compelling and timely. Might have to put down $ for one of his other novels. A very talented human 😉

Lovingly written

A complicated tale of paths not taken, lives changed forever in a instant, seems to mean more now than ever. Also, it's a lovely tribute to those who took the hard road and fought the fight so we could live more honestly today.

Great Story

Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2023

It was a great story! Well written but it was longer than it needed to be. I wanted to give up several times except the story being told needed to have an ending for me.

Graham Norton goes back to his roots

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2023

Verified Purchase

Not really a biography but I feel Graham has channelled many of his experiences of being a gay man in Ireland before the idea of gayness was considered acceptable. He writes sincerely about people who are for the most part likeable I enjoyed this book very much.

An interesting plot - reflects on Irish cultural restraints in early19th century.

Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2020

Verified Purchase

Very easy to see why this book is so widely acclaimed. A really good book if you are looking for something a little lighter. Certainly well written and the plot is a true narrative of those times - thank goodness as a society we have moved in the direction of allowing people live lives true to their nature.

Intriguing and exhausting at the same time.

Reviewed in Canada on January 17, 2023

Verified Purchase

I wanted the truth to burst forth a number of time and with the full fury it deserved but was appreciatively held back by the wiser, saner action of gentle acceptance and dismissing and fury.

Full of plot twists

It's not a world I know about but I couldn't wait to read about what happened to all the characters. It had me intrigued from page one.

My first book by Graham Norton and I'm so glad I've read it!

Reviewed in France on November 11, 2023

Verified Purchase

I started reading this book and found it was a nice reading from the begining, but at first it didn't strike me as something special. But as the story develops, I saw myself so emotionally involved with the different people affected by what happened and how their life was unfolding... brilliantly written, touching, rings true in so many levels! This was my first novel by Graham Norton and I'm so glad I've read it!

A great read

The first of Norton's books I have read. Well worth it.

Not my fave

Reviewed in Italy on July 24, 2022

Verified Purchase

Absolutely adored the first two books but could not go past half of this one. Marvellous writing as per usual, but I just did not feel compelled by the characters at all, and the alleged twists and turns were a bit too predictable for my taste.
