March Book Club

  • Books on the Hill 1 Holywell Hill St Albans, England, AL1 1ER United Kingdom (map)

For March our booksellers were set the task of choosing a book with the theme of Nature. So this month we have decided to read Belonging by Amanda Thomson.

These book clubs will be held in the shop and are suitable for ages 16+ years.

Book your place here.

About the book-

Reflecting on family, identity, and nature, belonging is a personal memoir about what it is to have and make a home. It is a love letter to nature, especially the northern landscapes of Scotland and the Scots pinewoods of Abernethy. Beautifully written and featuring Amanda Thomson's artwork and photography throughout, it explores how place, language, and family shape us and make us who we are.

It is a book about how we are held in thrall to elements of our past. It speaks to the importance of attention and reflection, and will encourage us all to look and observe and ask questions of ourselves.
