From her childhood yearnings to escape the back seat of the family car and explore the unknown to wandering the globe as an adult, from Nairobi ,the Philippines and Tasmania to the South of France, Isabel Huggan's Belonging is a journey of pure pleasure-intimate, richly entertaining and laced with humour. At the heart of Belonging is an old stone house among the vineyards in the foothills of the Cevenners mountains in France, from where Huggan shares a vivid and moving account of what it's like to settle into a new country and a new language in middle age. Having roamed the world with her Scottish-born husband, when she realises how deeply he loves the Cevennes she agrees to settle there-on the condition that she "goes back home" every year. But where is home-how do we know where we belong. Paperback Ed 2004
