*** A GARDENS ILLUSTRATED BOOK OF THE YEAR*** 'A beautiful book
about nature...I recommend it' Afua Hirsch, author of Brit(ish) A
powerful work of memoir and storytelling that will change the way
we think about the natural world. Unearthed is the story of how
Claire Ratinon found belonging through falling in love with growing
plants and reconnecting with nature. Like many diasporic people of
colour, Claire grew up feeling cut off from the natural world. She
lived in cities, reluctant to be outdoors and stuck with the belief
that success and status could fill the space where belonging was
absent. Through learning the practice of growing food, she unpicked
her beliefs about who she ought to be. Over her first year living
in the English countryside and with the first vegetable patch of
her own, she finds a pathway back to nature's embrace. And through
growing the food of Mauritius, recording her parents' stories and
exploring the history of the island, she also strengthens her
connection to her homeland. Unearthed urges us to look to the world
outside for the belonging and home we seek. It is a heartfelt call
to reconsider our history, the way we think about nature and the
complex relationships we all have with the land.
