What did I think?
Having loved Eleanor Ray's debut novel, Everything is Beautiful, I couldn't wait to read her next novel and I absolutely adored it. The Art of Belonging is everything I hoped it would be and more: beautiful, uplifting and filled with love.
Eleanor Ray has created three amazingly strong female characters that I immediately fell in love with. Grace is starting to feel her age but she can manage very well on her own, thank you very much. Grace's daughter Amelia knew her life wasn't perfect but she didn't expect to be moving back in with mum at this stage of her life. Amelia's daughter Charlotte is delighted to be spending more time with her grandmother, even if it means she doesn't get to see her dad very much. This is the story of their lives and I absolutely loved it.
I adored every single character in this gorgeous novel; the three main characters drive the story forwards but they are supported by a colourful and unforgettable cast of characters. The writing is flawless and perfectly paced to allow the reader to savour every delicious word.
The Art of Belonging is a stunning novel that made me experience so many different emotions whilst reading it but it left me feeling incredibly uplifted and joyful. An easy five stars from me and one I can't recommend highly enough.
I received an ARC to read and review for the Instagram tour and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
