Overview of Belonging Book

Lila Langdon is twelve years old when she witnesses a family tragedy after her mother unveils her father s surprise birthday present a tragedy that ends her childhood in India and precipitates a new life in Sussex with her great-aunt Wilhelmina. From 1855, in the darkest days of the British Raj through to the aftermath of the First World War, Belonging tells the interwoven story of three generations and their struggles to understand and free themselves from a troubled history steeped in colonial violence.
