Belonging

Blending memoir, art, and nature writing, Belonging is Amanda Thomson’s deeply personal meditation on home, identity, and the landscapes that shape us. Rooted in the pinewoods of Abernethy and the northern reaches of Scotland, the book weaves reflections on family and language with a love for wild places.

Through evocative prose, photographs, and her own artwork, Thomson explores how memory, heritage, and place intertwine—how the pull of the past lingers, and how paying attention to the world around us can reveal who we truly are. Quiet, thoughtful, and visually rich, Belonging invites readers to slow down, look closely, and consider where—and to whom—they belong.
