An enormously moving and inspiring story about war, trauma, nature and rebirth, written with infectious passion and unsparing honesty. I loved it. * Dominic Sandbrook * It is an ecological autobiography... scholarly, wise, funny, charming, terrifying and thrilling, and I adored it all, every page. -- Joanna Lumley An extraordinarily courageous, urgent and powerful book. -- Isabella Tree deeply compelling... emotional, informative, pleasurable. I believe that this is an important work with planet-sized dreams and ambitions. Perhaps the greatest philosophy or teachable lesson that came to me off the page is that dominion comes with responsibility. -- Russell Crowe a beautifully written, people-focused tale with many stories of the healing of troubled human souls brought about by the rainforests health-giving powers. I absolutely loved it. -- Charles Clover Our Oaken Bones is aching and hopeful in equal measure: from the horrors and trauma of war, to the quiet intimate grieving of a hidden family loss, there are perhaps no greater tests of the healing power of Britains lost rainforest habitats. -- Gillian Burke A remarkable story of healing and growth, Our Oaken Bones is a moving and uplifting discourse on the power of nature to revive body and soul. A terrific debut. -- Justin Marozzi Powerfully enchanting, written with verve and imbued with hope. * Guy Shrubsole * This is a lovely book wise, brave, thoughtful, painfully intimate but with a remarkable spiritual and environmental vision. * Rory Stewart * "A comfort and inspiration" * Chloe Dalton, author of "Raising Hare" *
