Abstract:
"Our narrator is stuck at home alone under lockdown, where she remembers her 1990s childhood in rural Yorkshire. The ecological phenomena that start in her own backyard interconnect and spread out from China to Nicaragua as pesticides circulate, money flows around the planet, and bodies feel the force of distant power"-- Provided by publisher.
