This book is a *lot.* It masquerades as a slim little volume about places on the edge of life and then you start reading and you realize that is a book about places on the *edge* of *life.*

I was hoping for much more information on the Troubles, rather than personal meditation on nature's extinction.

I found her writing about grief and trauma to be beautiful and raw in a way that really stuck with me. The observations about the natural world felt less interesting to me and I was over it before it ended but I'm happy to have read it.

I was given this book to read for class. It was a unique look at Brexit and what it will do to Ireland. This is a true story about one woman's life, living in Northern Ireland, right at the heart of so much violence between the Protestants and Catholics. This is a mixture of memoir, history, and nature writing, which makes for a very tragic and empowering read. My only critique is that sometimes the story felt more like a rant, which seemed to go away from the overall message. However, despite that, I enjoyed the story.
