A gorgeous summer read about new beginnings from the Sunday Times bestseller.

Home is where the heart is…but what if your heart is broken?

When Judith loses her partner, she loses her life in Malta too – including the beautiful view from her sun-warmed balcony of the sparkling blue waters of Sliema Creek.

Back in England, Judith finds a spare room in her sister’s house where she grew up – but with it comes a whole host of family dramas.

Nursing a broken heart, Judith knows she must find happiness again – and rebuild her life on her own terms. Could an island in the sun be the answer she is looking for?

A wonderfully escapist summer read, perfect for fans of Katie Fforde and Carole Matthews.

Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews

Genre: General Fiction (Adult), Romance, Women's Fiction

Ahhh, boo, hiss, spit. That awful outdated category AGAIN. One day..please?

Anyway, wow what a read. Sue is one of the few authors I've found that can juggle so many threads in a story, and weave them neatly into an engrossing tale. Often when I read books with multiple threads they feel disjointed, too busy, but here its just perfect, opens up parts of the characters that would otherwise be hidden.

Judith, divorced from the awful Tom and found new love in Malta. Her life is happy she thinks, her stepson who she adores, brought up since he was nine, often visits, and she lives with the gorgeous Giorgio. Slight hiccup due to the heavy religion and legal issues in Malta, but they're in love and work round it. Then as things do, it all falls apart and heartbroken, she sadly can't face her life there and comes back to the UK. That starts another fabulous thread, but Malta is still there in the background.
Adam is renting her UK house, he's also divorced ( what a deliciously horrible woman his ex is, I do love characters like that, they add so much extra!) and lives with his son, who in his early 20's. Adam also had past issues to deal with, the divorce, a horrible accident, trying to run his business, and of course now Judith wants her home back....
I really felt for Adam over his disability, I know from disabled friends his experience wasn't unique – it happens way more than we would like to think. I was lucky, my husband never made me feel “less that” after my leg amputation, but many marriages break up as partners can't deal with it. We put way too much emphasis on “perfection” IMO.

I just loved the way the story played out, the little things, Fingers the snake ( fabulous), when Judith went to throw some weed found down the sofa into the fire....Judith's mum and the care home staff ( yes, Lovie/Love instead of names gets used all the while in these places. I just wish all care homes were like this one.) Judith's sister Molly, and her husband – what is it with those males, so sexist. Sadly there are a lot of them about it seems.
I loved that Malta and the people there were always in the background, I wondered if perhaps Giorgio's actions were a product of what had happened, how depressed and upset he was, how much he was keeping inside.
I understood Kieran and Bethan, I had similar issues at the same age, and my parents reactions were pretty much the same as hers. All these little things, all these multiple plots, wrapped up into a wonderful story that once more kept me reading “just one more chapter” til it was far too early in the morning to be reading but I needed to know how it ended!

Stars: Five, Its a wonderful mix of drama, tragedy and lightened with some very real humour.

Perfect summer read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 19, 2021

Thanks to NetGalley and Avon Books for letting me read this book prior to its publication. My opinion is 100% honest, unbiased, and my own.

The publisher contacted me to offer me a copy of this book, since I had already read and reviewed another of this author's books. I'm not a huge fan of romance or women's fiction, but I have to say that Sue Moorcroft's books are perfect to empty your mind, relax at the beach, and escape to another place. They are kind, feel-good books, and I am glad I found this author.

A Home in the Sun is a story about loss, about self-discovery, and about figuring out who we are in the big scheme of things. It's being quite interesting to follow Judith around, both in Malta and in England, and follow her thoughts while she processes her losses and accepts what she can gain with that acceptance. Although the topics may seem quite heavy, it's an easy read, the tone gets quite optimistic, and it ends up putting a smile on your face. Sometimes I just wanted to shake Judith and slap her silly, but in the end we get to understand the character and her motivations. It's a good journey.

I loved the settings for this story. I have never been in Malta, but reading this book takes you on a tour of Sliema and it makes you feel like you can see everything quite vividly in your mind. And the small town in England sounds so quaint that you just want to pack your suitcases and go there for a visit.

So overall, a very interesting book, an easy read to enjoy during the summer vacation, and I look forward to read more books by this author.

Enjoyable summer read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 29, 2021

A home in the sun was previously published under a different name. It is a lovely beach read with beautiful descriptions of Malta that would make you want to travel there. Judith is a strong character, an English woman living in Malta who falls in love with a married man. When he dies tragically, his family blame her. Broken-hearted she returns home to England.
Back home, she can’t move into her home until the man renting it moves out. Her ex-husband is unhelpful and positively aggressive over his son’s good relationship with her.
It’s a book that examines relationships, Judith with her sister, her mother, her ex-husband, her stepson and her employer.
I loved the characters. Judith deals with her grief and struggles to get on with her life. It is an uplifting read and I would recommend it.
Thank you to Avon Books and NetGalley for an advance copy in return for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were very relatable, every real and every interesting. I loved the relationships and how family is not just biological. This is the first book I've read from this author and look forward to discovering more!

Heartwarming, emotional. A perfect summer escape

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 24, 2021

Verified Purchase

A perfect summer escape this was originally published as Uphill All The Way, her debut. I've loved every book I've read and this did not disappoint. There is something so comforting about the style of writing which draws you in, connecting with the location and characters. I could feel the sun on my face in glorious Malta. Judith returns to the UK, rebuilding her life, dealing with many emotional struggles along the way. I loved her strength in character, you couldn't help but connect with her. But where does her heart lie. England or Malta? An emotional, heartwarming escape. A must read.

This is a great story!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 10, 2021

Verified Purchase

Have now encountered this story in three ways - paperback, audio and now in Kindle form. And each time I've enjoyed it. The extra pleasure here is the prologue, which I think adds a lot to the way we see Judith and her highs and lows in her family life. The characters and settings are as beguiling as ever, and I found this a great read.

Depressing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 9, 2021

Verified Purchase

I read Sue Moorcrafts books and like them but this one I found so depressing - surely so many bad things cannot happen to one person. After reading the whole book only a good think happened in the very last pages. It has left a lasting depressing feeling with me. Sorry Sue but not one of your best

Same book, different title

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 21, 2021

Verified Purchase

Very irritated that I had already purchased this book under a different title. If you already have “Uphill all the Way” don’t buy this book, it’s the same one.

A lovely introduction to Malta. First time I have read a Sue Moorcroft novel and she will be a regular author in my reading choice!
