Beschreibung
In her late thirties, Maggie Byrd lives a charmed life in London. She works with fossils and gems at the Natural History Museum and shares a home with the two people she loves most: her best friend, Harriet, and her partner, Joe. However, beneath this carefully constructed façade lies a past Maggie buried deep inside herself and resolved never to unearth: the story of a guilt-ridden, heartbroken girl who left Australia in her early twenties and swore never to return. But when she learns that she's inherited her beloved uncle's rewilded land in a lush valley of southeast Queensland, Maggie's London life begins to fracture. In the nineties, this wild, vivid place shaped Maggie when she was an angry, lost teenager. It was her home and sanctuary, where she experienced the intoxicating powers and limitations of friendship, first love, desire and loyalty - until she betrayed everyone she loved there and fled. When the same land that Maggie turned her back on comes into her care, she is forced to face what we all cannot bury, abandon or forget. From the international bestselling author of The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart. and The Seven Skins of Esther Wilding. comes a luminous, deeply emotional and utterly absorbing novel about belonging, memory and the loves and landscapes that make us - and what it takes to come home to ourselves and each other. The World Beneath Her Feet. is immersive Australian storytelling at its finest.
