Three months after Kyo Maclear's father dies in December 2018, she
gets the result of a DNA test showing that she and the father who
raised her are not biologically related. Suddenly Maclear becomes a
detective in her own life, desperately seeking answers from her
ailing mother whose memories and English are failing. Maclear no
longer speaks Japanese, her mother's first language, so she turns
to her mother's second fluent tongue: the wild and green language
of soil, seed, leaf and mulch. Can the humble act of tending a
garden provide common ground for an inquisitive daughter and her
complicated mother? What role does storytelling play in unearthing
the past and making sense of a life? What gets planted and what
gets buried? Unearthing is a captivating and propulsive story of
inheritance that goes far beyond heredity, full of unflinching
insights into grief, loyalty and the relationship between mothers
and daughters.
