Lee is a perfectly placed observer of our world in motion. In Dispersals, she examines the echoes and counterpoints in the migration of plants and people - and the language we use to describe them. Combining memoir, history and scientific research, Lee questions how both plants and people come to belong - or not - and reveals how all our futures are more entwined than we might imagine.'Contemplative, elegant' New Statesman'At once expansive and intimate, and most of all, gorgeously written.
This is a book I will return to often over the course of my life' Nina Mingya Powles, author of Small Bodies of Water
