Reviews

It is an ecological autobiography... scholarly, wise, funny, charming, terrifying and thrilling, and I adored it all, every page. -- Joanna Lumley An extraordinarily courageous, urgent and powerful book. -- Isabella Tree deeply compelling... emotional, informative, pleasurable. I believe that this is an important work with planet-sized dreams and ambitions. Perhaps the greatest philosophy or teachable lesson that came to me off the page is that dominion comes with responsibility. -- Russell Crowe a beautifully written, people-focused tale with many stories of the healing of troubled human souls brought about by the rainforest’s health-giving powers. I absolutely loved it. -- Charles Clover Our Oaken Bones is aching and hopeful in equal measure: from the horrors and trauma of war, to the quiet intimate grieving of a hidden family loss, there are perhaps no greater tests of the healing power of Britain’s lost rainforest habitats. -- Gillian Burke
