I never thought I'd enjoy a book with so much description of natural landscapes, but I did. Didn't know what to expect going in, so some of the content, especially the memoir aspect, took me by surprise (not at all in a bad way, though this isn't happy subject matter)! I enjoyed the writing and Masud did a great job of transporting me into her memories. The book got me itching to go on a hike now, especially across flat land!
