'Outstanding' - ROBERT MACFARLANE
'A beautifully written meditation on rural surroundings and her
place within them' - Sunday Times
'Amanda Thomson's new book manages to carve out a distinctive niche
for itself . . . This is a passionate book and infused with a sense
of rootedness' - STUART KELLY
'In recent years rural landscapes have turned into battlegrounds,
and nature writing has become increasingly polemical. Belonging is
a quiet book of questions in a genre full of answers, but it is all
the more powerful and beautiful for this' - PATRICK GALBRAITH
'Deservedly shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize; a thoughtful
blend of memoir, family history, artistic scrapbook and nature
journal in a compelling collage. [ . . . ] There's also an
all-encompassing belief in the importance of listening, looking and
learning from the world around us' - Observer
