Inga Simpson’s fiction work has often shown her love of the Australian bush, and this memoir of both her personal journey as a writer and as a caretaker of the Australian bush is a perfect continuation of the theme. With each chapter dedicated to a certain tree species, Inga travels from her childhood memories of ironbarks and eucalypts, to an escape from Brisbane city life to the Queensland hinterlands and a rustic country property. Books like Peter Wohlleben’s The Hidden Life of Trees have given readers a new appreciation for the trees in our lives, but to read an Australian narrative is especially enjoyable.
