Coming Home Marion Reynolds

Three of the Devereux family siblings are living away from Ireland. Joseph is in New York, working in a publishing company, Kay is successful on the New York stage and Mary and her husband Liam are teachers in a private school in England. Only Harry, who is a politician, remains in Dublin.

The outbreak of WWII, changes their lives dramatically. Joseph becomes a war correspondent, based in London, for the New York Times and Kay entertains the American troops in Europe. Mary's husband is called up and sent to fight in France. Mary is left in England looking after their children, with no job and nowhere to live. They all dream of coming home to Ireland.

The illness of their father brings them together again briefly in Dublin but old tensions surface between Mary and Kay when a terrible secret is revealed.

Can any of them fulfil their dream of coming home?
