Where Your Heart Is | Rachel Schurig

This is my favorite book featuring a #ReturnToSmallTown. Work is the most important thing in Iris Holder's life- but a royal screw-up sends her running from her big-city Chicago life back to small-town Lilac Bay to regroup and recover. Rachel Schurig based Lilac Bay on Michigan's beautiful Mackinac Island, and it's really fun to read, having visited that island many times! #MittenLitten #TropesInAugust

This classic is a subversion of the #returntosmalltown trope. The main character is Carol and it is to her new husband‘s hometown that they return, where Carol‘s ideals are crushed by small town conservatism and small-mindedness.

A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. #returntosmalltown #tropesinaugust @Klou
