Well-worn but intact
Belonging by Larraine Segil is a compelling novel that spans continents and decades, weaving the lives of two women from vastly different backgrounds. Gyneth, a privileged white child, and Carolyn, an impoverished black girl, form an unlikely friendship in apartheid-era South Africa. As they grow, their paths diverge—Gyneth rises in the corporate world of Los Angeles, while Carolyn becomes a surgeon in London. Through political upheavals, personal betrayals, and the relentless pursuit of their dreams, their bond is tested but never broken. This poignant story explores themes of race, ambition, and the enduring power of friendship.
