‘An impassioned love letter … a lush, lyrical reminder that our cultural, ancestral and ecological roots are never static but are reaching and entwining across borders.’ * Dazed * 'An essayistic meditation on what it means to be native to a land ... undergirded by rigorous research, personal wisdom and descriptive prose.' ★★★★ * The Skinny * ‘Through her lyrical prose, Dalia creates a work that feels both personal and universal, while raising important questions … striking.’ * The New Arab * ‘a genre-defying debut that blends memoir, mythology, ecological essay, cultural history, and folktale. It is a love letter to land, ancestry, and the in-between places where language, memory, and myth intersect ... a text that feels radical in its gentleness.’ * Savoir Flair * 'A fascinating mash-up of pastoral and personal history with an interrogation of empire and nationalism, that manages to convey wonder and hope even as it sketches out man’s brutality to man and to the natural world.' * Bookmunch * ‘You’ll emerge from Al-Dujaili’s book with a renewed sense of connectedness to the natural world and wherever it is you call home.’ * VOGUE Arabia * 'Stunning ... the writing [is] exquisite.' * Stylist *
