Rootbound: Rewilding a Life by Alice Vincent

4.0

When I bought this book, I never knew how many parallels it would have with my own life. Reading Alice Vincent’s tales of life at Newcastle University brought waves of nostalgia crashing over me, and her musings on her professional life in London echoed the feelings I have towards my own. Insightful anecdotes, such as her hedonistic experiences at Glastonbury Festival and life affirming trips to New York and Tokyo, pepper this book with millennial wisdom. I enjoyed the way that Vincent’s often candid and touching reflections on life as a woman in her mid-late 20s are also interwoven with fascinating horticultural history. A must-read for 90s babies with a penchant for anything that grows.
