If you have found yourself feeling adrift in yourself and your creativity since the pandemic began then this might just be the book you need you need; it does exactly what it promises in the strap line.

Using the four elements of Earth, Water, Fire and Air as the bones of the text, Katherine uses her own life to explore the concept of enchantment as something that we have lost and need to find once more in order to reawaken ourselves in the world we now inhabit.

It is not a self help book in the traditional sense of the term, nor is it nature writing, and it’s not wholly a memoir either. It’s a wonderful mixture of all those things and more, inviting into an immersive reading experience that asks us to each apply the thought processes happening across the pages to our own lives.

It was just the thing to read as I recovered from illness; full of interesting concepts, kindness, caring and introspection, it spoke to my core. I cannot recommend it enough!
