Binding: Hardcover
Description: A Countryfile Christmas GIFT BOOK What is home? It's a question that has troubled Marchelle Farrell for her entire life. A longed - for career in psychiatry saw her leave behind the pristine beaches and emerald hills of Trinidad. Until disillusioned she uprooted again this time for the peaceful English countryside. The only Black woman in her village Marchelle hopes to grow a new life. But when a worldwide pandemic and a global racial reckoning collide the upheaval of colonialism that has led her to this place begins to be unearthed. Is this really home? And can she ever feel truly grounded here? Drawn to her new garden Marchelle begins to examine this complex and emotional question through the psychotherapeutic lens of her work. As her relationship with the garden deepens she discovers that her two conflicting identities are far more intertwined than she had realised. Full of hope and healing Uprooting is a book about finding home where we least expect it and which invites us to reconnect to the land - and ourselves.
