Understory: a life with trees by Inga Simpson

5.0

A truly wonderful memoir. Simpson paints an evocative picture of a creative life lived amongst the trees but is also very honest about the difficulties and the cost (both in monetary and other terms) of doing so.

I loved the structure of this, the balance between the informative and the personal is struck perfectly and the descriptive writing is just magical.

I haven't read any of Simpson's fiction and I feel like I need to make that a priority now.

A tremendously inspirational book that will stay with me for a long time.
