In Oxfordshire, an elderly man protests the cutting down of an ancient beech tree by chaining himself to its trunk. In the depths of space, two evacuees from a scorched and barren Earth consider whether to tell the rest of the crew that their old home may be starting to heal... The stories in Jane Rogers' much-awaited second collection shine an unflinching light on the future health of the planet, and the prospects for its greediest tenants: us. With stories spanning hundreds of years - from the far side of the 22nd century all the way back to the darkest days of lockdown - they pose questions about personal responsibility that cannot be easily answered.
