In the rockpools and hedgerows of the natural world, Natasha found solace in the landscape's beauty, and in the mobile library she found her means of escape. In her memoir, Undercurrent, she returns to the cliff paths of her childhood, determined to make sense of an upbringing shaped by political neglect and a life defined by the beauty of nature. This is a journey through place, and a vivid story of hope, beauty, and fierce resilience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarvellous, moving, and mesmerising, Anita Sethi praised the book for its portrayal of queer resistance, community, and finding one's own voice.
