It’s a wonderful adventure when the book you are currently reading suggests the next, and the next, and the next, and before you know it you are reading about stuff that you never thought you were interested in. If you want your world turned upside down, quite literally, then try The Life of Plants, and for getting to grips with the English colonial past and how it lies at the root of today’s world destruction The Nutmeg’s Curse. It’s PJ Harvey next…
