Description
Sophie Pierce's life was forever changed in 2017 when her twenty-year-old son Felix died suddenly and unexpectedly. In the aftermath, she found solace in writing letters to him, composed during walks near his burial place by the River Dart. These letters, alongside Sophie's account of the years following Felix's death, form a poignant record of how she learned to navigate the landscape of sudden loss. By engaging with the natural world - the weather and tides of grief - Sophie was able to hold on to her bond with Felix, both in her mind and through physical interaction with the environment. The Green Hill is a deeply moving exploration of how beauty and the passing seasons can help us contend with our own mortality, as well as a celebration of the natural world's role in our lives and relationships.
