The Ghost in the Garden by Jude Piesse
5 stars
I received a free copy of this book through LibraryThing in exchange for a review.
Piesse has written a wonderful, meandering exploration of the Darwin family, their childhood garden in Shrewsbury, her own journey into motherhood as an academic, garden labour and the people who do it, and the importance of place and the living world as we all face the crisis of global heating.
My family and I briefly visited Shrewsbury from the US in Oct 2016 so it was interesting to think of the author possibly being in the town and writing the book while we were there.
It was very strange to be reading two nonfiction books at the same time (this one and Desert Solitaire by Ed Abbey) that include people killing rabbits by throwing stones.
