This memoir is marketed as lyrical and poetic that takes a look at the life of a working-class woman’s perspective on things in history, on mythology and folklore, and science. An account of beginning to interact and explore the wetlands, the book takes a quirky approach and takes on the structure through the acts of Macbeth. However, as the author shares, sometimes these dark landscapes have properties that go beyond their stereotypes of danger and risk. She presents these spaces as having a certain element of healing to them that she would grow fond and nostalgic of.
