HOW I BECAME A TREE

Soneela Nankani has the perfect soothing voice for this meditation by the author on humanity's relationship with trees. Nankani is gentle and precise while taking us through the ideas of great thinkers around the world and their views on trees. This is an ode to nature that listeners may want to experience while on an outdoor walk or an exploration of their own. Nankani captures the author's contemplative essence in softly delivered sentences. From Shakespeare to Tagore, we are treated to an international panoply of musings on trees. Through her tone, pitch, and style, Nankani embodies the ruminative and centering aim of the audiobook. For anyone wanting a break from the hectic pace of contemporary life, this will be a welcome listen. M.R. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2022]
