I liked this book a lot, and I'm glad my reading group chose it. I enjoyed the writing, and especially liked the Ogham section at the end of the book. It has left me wanting to read more by Beresford-Kroeger, certainly, as well as about Druids and about trees and their interconnections with other plants and species. My only disappointment was that I felt like I was waiting quite a while at the beginning (the first half?) for the book to become about trees at all, which is perhaps more due to my expecting the book's focus to be different than anything about the book itself.

Mostly a memoir, I found Diana's life very interesting, especially her early years in lisheen, but also her experiences in education and research. She speaks so passionately and knowledgably about nature, history and medicine it is easy to be swept up. I enjoyed the memoir part more than the section at the back going through each tree in the Celtic alphabet, but it still held some interesting notes. I had hoped there would be more about the climate crisis, but that fault is more on my expectations than the book itself.
