I place this fossil on the windowsill, its surface gleaming like cat's eyes ahead of me on a dark road.' In the wake of a traumatic lockdown, Nancy Campbell buys an old caravan and drives it into a strip of neglected woodland between a canal and railway.

But when illness and uncertainty loom once more, she must discover a way to hold on to beauty and wonder, to anchor herself in this safe space - her shelter from the storm. ___ 'The most thoughtful and soothing book I've read this year.'
