Anyone who appreciates impassioned environmental writing and enjoys the lilting sounds of a fine Irish accent will want to listen to this audiobook. Ruairi Conaghan has the gift of a storyteller's delivery, which he applies with authority, a well-measured pace, and a sure sense of the text's value. Author Nairn might not have told this compelling narrative had it not been for COVID; he says we "increasingly experience the natural world remotely." At once a personal story of the author's own woodland care taking--his attempt to "keep one small patch of woodland alive"--it is also a mediation on what has happened and why to Ireland's forests. He states, "Ireland's native woodland is in the emergency ward." This audiobook's aim is to help heal the trees. A.D.M. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2021]
