{"product_id":"9780733635960","title":"Understory by Inga Simpson","description":"Each chapter of this absorbing memoir explores a particular species of tree, layering description, anecdote, and   natural history to tell the story of a scrap of forest in the Sunshine Coast   hinterland - how the author came to be there and the ways it has shaped her life. In many ways, it's   the story of a treechange, of escaping suburban Brisbane for a cottage on ten acres in   search of a quiet life. Of establishing a writers retreat shortly before the   Global Financial Crisis, and losing just about everything. It is also the   story of what the author found there: the literature of nature and her own path as a writer.   Some of the nature writing that has been part of this journey is woven   through the narrative arc. The Language of Trees is   about connection to place as a white settler descendent, and trying to   reconcile where the author grew up with where the author is now. It is her story of   learning to be at home among trees, and the search for a language appropriate   to describe that experience. That journey leads Inga to nature writing, to an   environmental consciousness, to regenerating this place and, ultimately, to   learning Gubbi Gubbi and Wiradjuri.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56295927218549,"sku":"9780733635960","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780733635960.jpg?v=1762769643","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780733635960","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
