This book is all about finding out where you belong, whether that’s realising you no longer belong where you once did or finding a new place to belong. It struck a real chord with me as I, like everyone on the planet I’m sure has had that feeling of ‘do I belong here?’ happen to them at one time or other.
On the eve of moving house it’s quite apt that I felt compelled to write this review wondering ‘will I feel belonging in my new home?’
The story follows two women Jo, who grew up in the Forest of Dean and knows all about community and what it is to belong to that community and Tessa who has completely opposing views about the sane community.
The two women are thrown together and are compelled to find their sense of identity and the meaning of home.
This book is so thoughtfully written and it tells such a thought provoking story about life. It is such a warm, kind and touching novel. I felt so immersed in the lives of Tessa and Jo and the strength that each portrayed. This story is bound to resonate with any reader that picks up this book. I absolutely loved it and it left me with a warm glow, that is not left by many books I’ve read.
