The Way Back Home

Reviews / Votes

The Way Back Home is a heartfelt, riveting novel from a master of his craft * Quill and Quire * I love this book - a riveting page-turner full of likeable, flawed, believable people. It's beautiful, heartbreaking, yet wonderfully funny. Stratton writes some of the wittiest dialogue in YA fiction today. -- Susin Nielsen The Way Back Home is raw, funny, brutal and profoundly humane. It broke my heart and then healed it again -- Susan Juby Terrific. I read it in one big gulp. Does Stratton have an ear for dialogue or what? His splendid new novel involves a journey from a painful past into something like, well, utter grace. Like all of Stratton's work, this is a read that makes us recognise the pilgrimages we are all on, and cheer at the thought that they might, they really might, be successful. * Gary D Schmidt * An emotional story of survival, loss, family and memory... a thought-provoking book that is both shocking and funny in equal measure * Carousel *
