How to Belong

How to Belong Synopsis

'This atmospheric read is simply beautiful.' Woman & Home

How can home be found, when you are lost?

When two very different women find themselves sharing a home, they must confront their pasts in order to work out who they each are, and how they will survive.

Disillusioned with her high-flying London career, Jo has returned to the remote rural community of her childhood. Taking over her parents' beloved butcher shop, she works hard to save the family legacy, hoping to
also save herself.

Tessa has returned too, fleeing a chance of happiness to come to terms with a life filled with secrets and shame. Now her livelihood as a farrier is under threat from a mysterious and debilitating condition.

How to Belong is a delicate, honest portrayal of unexpected friendship, the power of memory and what it truly
means to come home.
