Druga połowa zdecydowanie lepsza.
Zaczęłam się wciągać w historię dopiero ok 60% książki.
Zakończenie bardzo dobre.

I know I love a book when I take It to the chest often, close my almost welling eyes to drift into thoughts , taking my own sweet time to return back to reality ! So its safe to say I loved this book , and will love it to eternity !

When you turn the last page of a book and feel like going right back to page 1 and starting it all over again because you care so much about the characters and do not want to part, thats when you know you’ve found a gem ! This book is it, the gem..

I dont really know if the reason I love this book is because it is two of my favourites genres sandwiched into one i.e Historical fiction + Multi-generation family saga , or if it was just how beautiful the book by itself is crafted

Multi generational tale. Each generation was interesting, and I was gripped by the end.

Belonging is a novel that is quietly wonderful. I didn’t have big expectations to begin with, but it’s brilliance slowly crept up on me until I realised that I couldn’t put it down. I don’t want to say too much as I think the blurb says enough - but just read it. Read it. It’s utterly brilliant.
