Amanda Thomson Discusses Belonging
Amanda Thomson joins the team at Waterstones Sauchiehall Street to discuss her luminous combination of memoir and nature writing, Belonging!
About Amanda Thomson Discusses Belonging
A richly illustrated exploration of themes of identity, family, place, and belonging celebrating the landscapes of northern Scotland.
Amanda will be talking about finding community, seeing herself in nature, the power of the past, and her love of Scotland in what promises to be a wide-ranging and wonderful conversation.
Reflecting on family, identity and nature, Belonging is a personal memoir about what it is to have and make a home. It is a love letter to nature, especially the northern landscapes of Scotland and the Scots pinewoods of Abernethy - home to standing dead trees known as snags, which support the overall health of the forest.
Belonging is a book about how we are held in thrall to elements of our past. It speaks to the importance of attention and reflection, and will encourage us all to look and observe and ask questions of ourselves.
Beautifully written and featuring Amanda Thomson's artwork and photography throughout, it explores how place, language and family shape us and make us who we are.
