Where We Belong – by Anstey Harris
The blurb:
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?
My Opinion:
*Book provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review*
Where We Belong is the second novel by Anstey Harris.
Cate and her son Leo have had to leave their London home, she has been made redundant in her job as a teacher and the grief of losing her husband Richard followst hem everywhere.
They temporarily move to Richard’s family home, which is also a museum. I loved the way the author made the place feel special and unique. She doesn’t want tob e there and struggles, but with time she discovers secrets and gets to know certain people.
One oft hem being Araminta, the retainer oft he collection in the museum. Araminta is a very special lady and that doesn’t make lofe easier. They evidently have to spend time together and somehow get closer.
The star of this story is clearly Leo though. I loved him as a character and he ist he best thing that happened to cate.
The story is full of ups and downs. It has a lot of depth and touches some important topics. I really liked the storyline and enjoyed how it developed.
A wonderful read, with lots of beautiful and touching moments, with some great messages.
