Found it quite hard to keep focused on, although in fairness I read the first half of it on a train with a child flicking uno cards at my knees so maybe that had more to do with it than the content. The second half had no such excuse, though.
Not something I'd have picked up on my own I think so maybe not fair to review it - I was under the impression it was a fiction book rather than a memoir when I started, which I imagine didn't help.

some of this book I enjoyed so much, the human element and the interaction with the land, but I found the other sections difficult to read and understand... I suspect as an audiobook they would have been wonderful, but I couldn't really process the written text well enough to do it justice

Very beautiful, poetically written, sometimes a little hard to grasp onto. Lovely when you get into it, and some of the imagery is glorious, but a bit of a lack of tangible purpose to make you want to keep reading.
