Thoroughly enjoyed listening to Lee narrate this audiobook. 

Each chapter is a separate essay and a wonderful exploration of its topic (a plant such as Soy, Mango, and moss) looking at the history, language, ties to colonialism and Lees personal experience and feelings with them. Lee being a mixed race child of immigrant parents (Welsh father, Philippino mother), born in Canada and living her adult life abroad in the U.K. and Germany, she has a such unique perspective that’s worth sharing.
