The story is mainly about the author's personal trauma caused by The Troubles (and other somehow related incidents in her life), but not to the extent, I expected it to be. It's also about the author's relationship with nature in general, but especially with her home country. It didn't need to be that long for what it was able to say, so it definitely could have done with some better editing.
What I liked most about this book were the reflections on the devastating impact Brexit has on Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland and the valid fears that come with that.
Some beautiful sentences and reflections in there though, but just not enough for me to fall in love with this book completely.
