Umi Sinha's unforgettable debut is an intense, compelling and
finely wrought epic of love and loss, of race and ethnicity, of
homeland - and of belonging.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 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. It is a novel of secrets that unwind through
Lila's story, through her grandmother's letters home from India and
the diaries kept by her father, Henry, as he puzzles over the
enigma of his birth and his stormy marriage to the mysterious
Rebecca.
