About this listen

 *** The wonderful new novel from the acclaimed author of The Truths and Triumphs of Grace Atherton ***

‘Incredibly moving and atmospheric’ Beth O'Leary
'Absorbing and original' Katie Fforde
'Simply stunning’ Fionnuala Kearney
'Utterly enchanting' Heidi Swain

One summer.
One house.
One family learning to love again.

Cate Morris and her son, Leo, are homeless, adrift. They’ve packed up the boxes from their London home, said goodbye to friends and colleagues, and now they are on their way to ‘Hatters Museum of the Wide Wide World – to stay just for the summer. Cate doesn’t want to be there, in Richard’s family home without Richard to guide her any more. And she knows for sure that Araminta, the retainer of the collection of dusty objects and stuffed animals, has taken against them. But they have nowhere else to go. They have to make the best of it.

But Richard hasn’t told Cate the truth about his family’s history. And something about the house starts to work its way under her skin.

Can she really walk away, once she knows the truth?

Terrific second novel from a talented and engaging writer. With a cast of believable, sympathetic and well drawn characters, Where We Belong is sad, hilarious and witty.

Moving and magical

This was pleasant to listen to. The story was good enough to hold my attention. Nothing gripping or page turningly exciting. But pleasant is nice and I did enjoy the story. Whilst listening to it I got sensations of The Secret Garden and Tom's Midnight Garden. It's hard to explain why I thought of those two stories whilst listening to this one. I think it was the similarities in the house, the garden, the mysterious Araminta and all the secrets from long ago. The only niggle I did have was with the voicing of Leo. It was jarring on my nerves. I know this character had Downs Syndrome, but I don't think it was necessary to the story to narrate it in that voice.

Pleasant Enough
