Industry Reviews

'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
