A captivating tale of friendship, freedom, and the lives we share, "Under the Hornbeams" is a stunning book that will leave you breathless. Written by Nicholas Crane, this soulful and honest story follows the lives of Nick and Pascal, two unique individuals who live and sleep outside in central London. Despite their unconventional lifestyle, they do not identify as homeless, finding shelter under the majestic hornbeam trees in Regent's Park for nearly two decades.
When Emma Tarlo first encounters Nick and Pascal, she is struck by their unique perspective on life. Through shared meals, conversations, and life stories, they develop a deep friendship that challenges Emma's understanding of freedom and what it means to live outside the boundaries of society.
As the seasons change, Emma returns to the park almost daily, immersing herself in the community that surrounds Nick and Pascal. She meets a diverse range of people, from fellow outdoor enthusiasts to dogs and birds who flock to their presence. Through these interactions, Emma learns about the intricate web of connections that exist in the park and the challenges faced by those who call it home.
"Under the Hornbeams" is a beautifully written and evocative book that offers a glimpse into the lives of those who choose to live outside the mainstream. It is a testament to the strength of character and the power of human connection, reminding us that even in the most unconventional circumstances, there is beauty and meaning to be found.
