Description
Feral Borough by Meryl Pugh is a thought-provoking exploration of what it means to call a place home and how we share that space with non-human inhabitants. Set in an East London postcode, the book delves into the intricate web of life that exists alongside human communities. Through lyrical prose, Pugh records the fauna and flora of Leytonstone, revealing the beauty and diversity of urban wildlife. This subtle yet captivating book is part herbarium, part bestiary, and part memoir, offering a nuanced exploration of the effects of loss and lockdown on human well-being. By conjuring the local urban environment as a site for healing and connection, Pugh reminds us that nowhere, however urban, is without nature. This affecting book invites readers to consider their relationship with the natural world and the ways in which it shapes our lives.
