Where You Belong

Written by Barbara Taylor Bradford

Narrated by Kate Reading

Barbara Taylor Bradford's unique blend of passion and intrigue has made her one of the most cherished storytellers in the world. Her new novel is vintage Bradford: a powerful, suspenseful story of one woman's search to find out where she belongs, in life, in love, and within herself....

Val Denning, a willowy war photographer, left her American family--and cruelly unloving mother--for a life abroad and a life of danger. But Val's dazzling world of work, risk, and love has suddenly come apart. An assignment in Kosovo left her lover dead and Val adrift in Paris....Soon, in her grief, with horrific battle scenes etched in her mind, Val will realize that she was lied to by the man she loved--and that another man, a friend, has loved her for years. And now Val must start unraveling mysteries--of a man's life and lies, and of her own childhood. Caught between a new life and her past, Val is about to face the hardest choice of all: the choice between running away again, or truly starting anew....

Read this book in middle school and I loved it. Not sure it is really my style of book anymore but at the time I was completely sold on the book, so much that I couldn't get rid of it. I think I will need to read it again now that I am grown to see what I think of it now... since I still have it.

I read this book a few years ago and even after looking at some of the reviews for this book today, I can't remember a single line, scene, character, or plot from the book. I guess that says something about how compelling (or rather, how not compelling this book is). To be fair, I was under a lot of stress at the time, but I can still recall at least something about other books I read around the same time.
