Recensione:
"A book of which only he could have written a single page...marvellously observed, deeply felt from sentence to sentence. The writing is exquisite."
—David Sexton, Evening Standard
"A brilliant, candid and heartfelt memoir...The account of how he broke free of depression, reshaped his life and reconnected with the wild becomes nothing short of a manifesto for living...Mabey’s particular vision, informed by a lifetime’s reading and observation, is ultimately optimistic. It is also what makes his voice so appealing amid all the froth and flam of the eco-debate."
—Philip Marsden, Sunday Times
"Mabey is a radical, inheritor of an old English tradition...The core of the book is his exploration of his new landscape. It feels a privilege to share it, watching him unpick the layers of watery Norfolk, with dazzling skill and the warmest of hearts, as his troubled mind heals."
—Michael McCarthy, Independent
"Written in the radiant, tingle-making prose that has earned Mabey literary prizes and a multitude of fans... both a wake-up call and an example of how the love of nature can electrify and heal the imagination."
—Val Hennessy, Daily Mail
