What is home? It is a question that has troubled Marchelle Farrell for her entire life. Years ago, following in the footsteps of the Black diaspora, she left behind the pristine beaches and emerald hills of Trinidad. Now she moves again for the verdant, peaceful surroundings of the English countryside. These relocations at first appear as opportunity. But when placed within the context of a worldwide pandemic, and ongoing racial protests and disharmony, the trauma and upheaval of colonialism that have inexorably led her to this house and garden begin to be unearthed. Is this really home? And can she ever feel truly grounded here? A psychiatrist and a specialist in talking therapies, Marchelle attempts to unpack this complex and emotional question while she tends to her new garden. Through her care for the unusual - and often unlikely - flora and fauna that is contained within it, she discovers that her two apparently conflicting identities are far more intertwined than she had previously realised. Full of hope and healing, Uprooted is a book that in troubled times and an unsettled world aims to find safety, stability and a sense of belonging in an English country garden.
