Chapter five was when this book finally clicked for me. Beautifully sad and heartbreaking moments of reflection.
I loved so many phrases that I took to underlining the book as I went.
I was deeply moved by the lyricism and soft/quiet of the sadness and loss she speaks of. It moved me and yet amplified my own sorrows.
The writer style is one of repeating phrases (‘I think about…’) and recurring nature themes (various birds, insects, wildlife, as well as wind, river, sea, light and shadow)
The final few chapters weren’t as strong
