Belong to Me – Marisa de los Santos

Finding your place is rarely as simple as moving somewhere new.

When Cornelia Brown leaves city life behind for the suburbs, she hopes to settle into a welcoming community. Instead, she encounters neighbourly judgement, unexpected friendships and the discovery that even the most polished lives can conceal uncertainty.

As Cornelia’s story becomes entwined with those of the people around her, first impressions give way to more complicated truths. Behind everyday encounters lie grief, longing and secrets that could change the relationships they have come to depend on.

Marisa de los Santos brings warmth and emotional insight to a story about friendship, marriage and the families we create for ourselves. This is a thoughtful choice for readers who enjoy character-led fiction and watching unlikely connections develop into something lasting.

Perfect for fans of Ann Patchett and Liane Moriarty’s explorations of the lives beneath the surface. A follow-up to Love Walked In.

A paperback in Very Good condition.
