I adore this book! Three “stories” woven into one, with plenty of environmental science, agriculture, when biology undertones.

I can’t even describe how this book made me feel. I love each of these carefully crafted characters and all of the layers and complexities and all of the ways they’re intertwined—which, of course, is the point. The prose is just so beautiful and each of the characters connections to the natural world feel glimmering and singular
