Description
Surfacing is a luminous new essay collection that explores the connections between our past and the natural world. Kathleen Jamie visits archaeological sites and mines her own memories to uncover what surfaces and what reconnects us to our heritage.
In this thought-provoking work, Jamie considers the ways in which our memories and experiences shape us, and how the natural world can serve as a guide and marker. With characteristic sensitivity and insight, she reflects on her own life, including her relationships with her grandparents and her experiences of travel and loss.
Through her writing, Jamie reveals a profound and moving exploration of what it means to be connected to our past, to ourselves, and to the world around us. This is a deeply personal and universally relatable work that will resonate with anyone who has ever looked to the natural world for comfort, guidance, or inspiration.
