An interesting meditation on rest and going slowly. Part memoir, part essay on culture and nature, this was a really neat piece of writing. It was relaxing and reassuring, while also giving me a lot to think about. 

I could've done without the casual (uncritical) reference to Margaret Thatcher but it was a small encounter later in the book and not really overtly political (or as close to it as you can be while evoking a notorious politician in any context, but it was small in the scope of the rest of the book which was great overall)
