Description

Belonging by Umi Sinha is an unforgettable debut novel that weaves together love, loss, and identity across generations. When Lila Langdon witnesses a family tragedy at the age of twelve, her life in India is forever changed, leading to a new life in Sussex with her great-aunt Wilhelmina.

The story spans decades, from the darkest days of the British Raj through to the aftermath of the First World War, as three generations navigate their struggles to understand and free themselves from a troubled history steeped in colonial violence. Secrets unravel through Lila's story, her grandmother's letters home from India, and her father's diaries.

This finely wrought epic explores themes of race, ethnicity, homeland, and belonging, raising questions about the past's enduring impact on our lives today.
