Hidden Nature
Hidden Nature: A Voyage of Discovery | Alys Fowler
3 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
'A beautiful memoir' Good Housekeeping Leaving her garden to the mercy of the slugs, award-winning writer Alys Fowler set out in an inflatable kayak to explore Birmingham's canal network, full of little-used waterways where huge pike skulk and kingfishers dart. Her book is about noticing the wild everywhere and what it means to see beauty where you least expect it. What happens when someone who has learned to observe her external world in such detail decides to examine her internal world with the same care? Beautifully written, honest and very moving, Hidden Nature is also the story of Alys Fowler's emotional journey: above all, this book is about losing and finding, exploring familiar places and discovering unknown horizons.

I've admired Alys Fowler for a number of years due to her appearances on gardening shows so when she released this book I didn't know what to expect. I was met by a personal story of her marriage breakdown and falling in love with a woman, so beautifully written you felt the heart ache and the love she must have felt. Mixed in with plant lore, history of Birmingham's canals and industrial past. Truly a lovely book.
