Summary
“Life was not a fairytale of good versus evil. We were all imperfect creatures clinging to the threads of survival. And the fear that had followed me through these mountains like a whisper against my neck was now replaced with a sudden and quiet resolve. A strength that flickered and grew inside me, encompassing us both. I wasn’t running anymore. I was forging a new path for my daughter.”
It is the year 2150, and life is no longer about personal autonomy. People have lost the ability to dream, and nature is a force that is feared and contained.
Confined within a stifling marriage and the slow stripping away of her identity, Seren had sought purpose in the illegal herbal medicine practice she ran under the guise of her medical clinic. But when her secret is exposed, she is forced to flee deep into the mountains with her child and leave everything she knows behind.
Will she find solace with Domine, the only man who has ever made her feel free?
A story of the unfolding into nature, the wilderness inside us, and the magic hidden beneath. Hiraeth is a bold journey of longing and survival, the unbroken perseverance of love, and the resilient heartbeat of the human spirit.

A beautiful story
Seren is trapped in a soulless, loveless marriage with her stoic husband. She watches as her young spirited daughter's vivacity is drained away from her a little each day, as she is taught to conform to the many rules of living in this highly restrictive establishment. Her daughter is her life's blood, and that of the illegal holistic clinic she runs to help the many sick people here. However, her world comes crashing down when her herbal medicine is discovered, and she is threatened with the harsh consequences of being in possession of them. Knowing her daughter will be taken away from her, she runs to the only man that has always been her solace for all of these years. When she pulls up in front of Domine's door, her world changes forever.
This is my first time reading this author and I wasn't expecting to be so deeply immersed in this story. Hiraeth is a stunning, beautifully written book with great world building that gives you all the feels. This is a book that pulls you in and doesn't let go until you've finished it entirely. The connection between Seren and Domine is so electric (and spicy), it's literally heart wrenching when things go downhill and you find yourself praying for things to turn around. It's an emotional ride and I'm ready for more from Jennifer Pezzano. I definitely recommend reading Hiraeth.
