About the book:
Heart Stood Still is a series of personal essays that follow the four seasons. Autumn is about soil, fungi, and fruit. In Winter, the focus is on water, stars, and stone. Then comes Spring with blossom, birds, and wind. Finally, in Summer, trees, weeds and insects are featured. Into her narrative, she has also skillfully woven memories of her English childhood, historical anecdotes, and Māori stories.
