Description
Alys Fowler's memoir is a moving account of her journey of self-discovery, set against the backdrop of Birmingham's canal network. Alongside her experiences of coming out as a gay woman, she explores the beauty and neglect of the waterways, revealing the hidden world of wildlife that thrives in these often-overlooked spaces.
Through her writing, Fowler exposes her own emotional fragility, yet also celebrates the beauty of the natural world, from the humble buddleia to the majestic herons and kingfishers that call the canals home. This is a story of noticing the wild everywhere and finding beauty in unexpected places.
Part memoir, part exploration of the natural world, Fowler's book is a thoughtful and heartbreakingly honest account of one woman's journey of self-discovery and connection with the world around her.
