finished this one right before the end of the month. this book was beautiful from start to finish. the imagery was stunning and the words so moving. i loved reading this as part of my learning on the violence in Ireland in the late 1900s. this memoir is special on its own and as part of a collection of works discussing and reflecting on that period in time in Ireland

'Through deeply traumatic and unsettled times I have been brought or found my own way across that border to seek solace in the weeds and wilderness held its hidden, healing, thin places.'
.
Thin Places by Kerri ní Dochartaigh is a beautifully written book that deals with raw, difficult experiences in a wise and careful way. It is about borders and trauma, love and loss, and the edges of nature, from lichen on rocks, to a moth by the sea or ladybirds in the backyard of a house on a council estate. A moving account of the author's life on the boundary between the North and South of Ireland, and a book that feels right for this dark and in-between time we're living through.

I really loved the authors voice and her story of grief and trauma was beautifully told and wound up with Ireland and natural history.
