Description
Uprooting: A lyrical exploration of home and identity, set against the backdrop of a tranquil English countryside garden. Marchelle Farrell's journey is one of self-discovery, as she grapples with the complexities of colonialism and her own place within it.
As she tends to her garden, Farrell begins to unravel the threads of her dual identity, revealing a deeper connection between the land and her own sense of belonging. A poignant and hopeful book, Uprooting invites readers to reconnect with the natural world and, in doing so, discover a sense of home that may be found in the most unexpected places.
