What They're Saying

Critics Review

‘Jennifer Lane writes with clarity, honesty and care in a beautiful honouring of her daughter and of her experience of grief. Underwing will make those of us who have experienced stillbirth and miscarriage feel seen. Lane guides us through what it can mean to have a deep connection with nature severed and then slowly reformed - I am glad to read books that redefine writing about nature and Underwing does this so well’ Sally Huband, author of Sea Bean

‘Jennifer Lane’s writing is sincere, tender and rich with wonderment, empowering her readers to resist a conventional existence and look deeper into the heart of nature’ Tiffany Francis, author of Dark Skies

MORE PRAISE FOR JENNIFER LANE

‘Jennifer Lane casts a kind a contrary nature spell over her readers, full of glitter and acorns, fire and firecrests’ Derek Niemann, Guardian

‘Jennifer’s passion emanates from the page, pulling the reader in so that we begin to look at the trees around us through her eyes, with that child-like sense of wonder. A joyous and magickal experience’ The Folklore Podcast
