Über diesen Titel

When she was a girl, Alice Vincent loved her grandfather's garden - the freedom, the calm, the beauty of it. Twenty years later, living in a tiny flat in South London, that childhood in the garden feels like a dream.

When she suddenly finds herself uprooted, heartbroken, living out of a suitcase and yearning for the comfort of home, Alice starts to plant seeds. She nurtures pot plants and vines on windowsills and draining boards, filling her new space with green, and with each unfurling petal and budding leaf, she begins to come back to life.

Mixing memoir, botanical history and biography, Rootbound examines how bringing a little bit of the outside in can help us find our feet in a world spinning far too fast.

I like Alice as a writer/blogger/gardener/person, I just can't finish this audio book and have to return it. Partly because there are passages sounding as if a navigation system voice over reads this book. I find it highly disturbing to suddenly listen to a computer voice and then back to Fiona Hamptons voice. And partly because I can hardly follow this story of a mid 20 heart ache combined with horticultural knowledge. I don't know what I'd expected and I'm really sorry, but I just can't keep on listening...
