The trouble I had with the book was that I felt bogged down with the environmental history at times. It felt a little like there could have been two books here, rather than one; a history of the green belt, and a personal memoir. I was hoping for more of a 'nature memoir', and this felt a bit more about environmental politics. That said, it may be that other readers will enjoy the segments dealing with both, and it is clear that Grindrod has put a lot of thought into joining them together.
