Charlie Bellerose, a Canadian ex-pat, has built an enviable life in Madrid: a beautiful wife, a precocious daughter, a burgeoning empire of language academies. But when his marriage threatens to fall apart, he finds himself uprooted and returning home to Toronto. There he finds something unexpected: his wayward, frivolous older brother—himself in the thick of a vicious divorce—wants to make amends with him.
       Charlie forges new bonds with his brother and nephews, but aches to reunite with his daughter. The longer he stays in Toronto, the more figures from his past resurface—old loves; friends long forgotten—and Charlie must figure out where his home and family truly lie. Masterfully rendered and deeply felt, Going Home Again is a beautiful exploration of the unexpected contours of life.
