Rootbound: Rewilding a Life by Alice Vincent
3.0
Alice Vincent has created a book that is not just a memoir of a broken-hearted millennial, but a history lesson in certain plants and green spaces. While it’s a book about love lost and gained, and an appreciation for the healing powers of nature, there is also great love in the way that Vincent writes about London.
Her writing is poetic. Her personal story is what really drew me in.
I found some of the anecdotes about plants and gardening quite disjointed.
Perhaps “Rootbound” is a slow book, one to be read over time, savoured page by page. Thought deeply about. There was beauty in this book, however I struggled with the segues and craved more of Vincent’s story.
