I Belong Here: A Journey Along the Backbone of Britain by Anita Sethi
4.0
Thank you NetGalley and Bloomsbury Publishing for an ebook ARC in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
I Belong Here is an emotional, informative memoir looking at what it means to belong. Anita Sethi set out to walk the Pennine Way following a race hate crime on a train. Sethi's physical exploration of Northern Britain is beautifully described and as someone that also takes great solace in walking amongst nature I found a lot of comfort in these pages. There is a blend of travel writing, natural history, social justice and psychology. This was especially helpful to read whilst also suffering with anxiety. I found myself remembering the advice Sethi repeated to herself and applying it to my life. It was one of those books that I just happened to read when I really needed it. Definitely recommend!
