Mary Rackham was born in Norwich on 14th August 1848 to a merchant family. Little is known of her early life and her biography only re-appears in September 1871 with marriage to Fairman Joseph Mann, a farmer with 800 acres. She took up writing, partly to offset the dreary village life of her surroundings, in the 1880s and published her first novel, ‘The Parish of Hilby’ (1883) at her own expense. It was well received by the critics. Thus began a career that spanning three decades provided thirty-three novels, hundreds of short stories, and fourteen plays.

Zwei Paare und fünf Kinder in einem alten Haus mitten im kanadischen Wald. Die Pandemie hat sie aus der Großstadt vertrieben, und sie lernen in der Wildnis eine neue Sprache: die der Schmetterlinge, des Farns, der Nattern und der Bäume. Anaïs, die Erzählerin, kennt diesen Ort seit ihrer Kindheit, Erinnerungen und Geschichten umschwirren sie. In einem Moment der existenziellen Verunsicherung schöpft sie Kraft aus der ungestümen, lebendigen Schönheit der Natur und bahnt sich neue Wege – als Mutter, als Künstlerin, als Liebende, als Frau.

Als "Bauern, Bonzen und Bomben" im März 1931 erschien, entbrannte in der Öffentlichkeit eine erregte Debatte.
