Richard Mabey is probably Britain's foremost nature writer, and in a nation famous for nature enthusiasts and great writers, that's saying a lot. In this memoir, he talks honestly about what happened when he suffered a nervous breakdown and became "an incomprehensible creature adrift...out of kilter with the rest of creation." He details what finally cured him of his black depression: a long, slow immersion in the windswept natural wonders of the Norfolk flatlands, and, little by little, a reconnection with his heart and his passion. Luminous, astonishing writing.
