A poetic attempt to bring us closer to the living natural world of roots, bark, leafs and the ethnic minorities that fight to live among them as we all should. Beautiful, deeply sad and hopeless, then hopeful again. A myriad of ethical and realist questions. I found it hard to follow at some point. Lost the plot a bit. Not an easy one to swallow but at times so beautifully described that you’ll want to finish it in the end.
