A captivating memoir and storytelling masterpiece that will revolutionize our perception of the natural world. Like many diasporic individuals of color, Claire Ratinon had a childhood marked by a sense of disconnection from the natural environment. Raised in cities, she shied away from outdoor activities and clung to the belief that material success and social status could compensate for the absence of a sense of belonging. However, a chance encounter with a rooftop farm would ignite a transformative journey that would challenge her preconceived notions and reshape her life's trajectory.

Driven by a newfound enthusiasm, Ratinon embarked on a mission to cultivate food in London, eventually yearning for a small parcel of land to call her own. Unearthed chronicles her decision to leave the city for the English countryside, where she embarked on the journey of creating her first garden. Through this immersive experience, Ratinon sought to forge a pathway towards embracing the natural world and cultivating a sense of belonging that was authentically her own.

Ratinon's captivating story has the power to touch hearts and minds, as evidenced by the endorsements of acclaimed authors such as Alice Vincent and Afua Hirsch. Her memoir offers a profound exploration of the human-nature relationship, challenging us to reevaluate our relationship with the environment and embrace the beauty and complexity of the natural world. Unearthed is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of reconnecting with our roots.
