Homecomings is the seventh book in C. P. Snow's Strangers and Brothers series. The events concern the personal life of narrator Lewis Eliot.
Following his wife's death, Eliot begins seeing Margaret. Her subsequent, and unsuccessful, marriage to another man leads to a difficult affair.
In a 1956 book review in Kirkus Reviews summarized the book as "An inordinately objective observer, C. P. Snow's leisurely narrative has a cumulative validity; it is also impressive in its breadth and control." [1]
The novel was adapted for television in the series Strangers and Brothers , which started Shaughan Seymour as Lewis Eliot and Cherie Lunghi as Margaret Eliot.
