There are beautiful, poetic descriptions of nature and she looks at how all life, big and small, near and far, is interconnected. I found this quite a curious, gloomy read but not in a bad way! All views are my own. It’s well-written, lyrical and I enjoyed the brutal snippets of life growing up in a rural community and then in lockdown as an adult.
Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC. The narrator, stuck alone during lockdown, looks back at the disconnected memories of her childhood living in the countryside.
It filled me with a sense of unease throughout, but was an interesting, thought-provoking read.
