I never thought I'd enjoy a book with so much description of natural landscapes, but I did. Didn't know what to expect going in, so some of the content, especially the memoir aspect, took me by surprise (not at all in a bad way, though this isn't happy subject matter)! I enjoyed the writing and Masud did a great job of transporting me into her memories. The book got me itching to go on a hike now, especially across flat land!

Read as was on Women's Prize Non Fiction 2024 Longlist.
Absolutely tragic Complex PSTD childhood experience locked into the house with English white mother & siblings by father in Pakistan. Education in England & needs to be near to flat places to support her emotions. Appreciate how she felt during covid, given her emotional & physical needs to be alone.
Reflects on the impact of white English culture on other countries cultures & religious. How can others be treated this way & be forget?
Won't forget this in the future & hope it is shortlisted for the award.
