“I’ll read it again, and maybe again. Some of the prose was magnificently poetic, and a joy to read over and over, just for the music the words made . . . if you appreciate writers whose writing ‘nudges the world a little’, driving reflection and possibly – hopefully – motivating some readers, somewhere, to take action to make the world a better place – this is a must-read.”
