Items related to Home Thoughts
Julia has left home, she has gone to Italy. She has left her lover, her job, her flat, the closely-knit group of friends who meant so much to her. Why? and the motley group of ex-pats she finds in Verona: the Oxford brigade, the revolutionary Scot, the cool Canadian, the feminist Flossy - why do they find it so impossible to return home, as if their very identities depend somehow on this thousand-mile displacement? Centred around a love story full of twists, turns and revelations, HOME THOUGHTS explores a world of lost direction, wavering commitment and misplaced ambition as Julia's adventurous departure confronts her more mercilessly than ever with the problem of what on earth she is to do with her life.
