A group of friends make their home in a forest. After years of happiness, the community begins to build houses and walls. Soon the adults are not curious about the world beyond. Can the children save the last tree?                          From the author of the phenomenally successful The King Who Banned the Dark comes a new tale about community and our relationship with the environment and nature.                        Once upon a time a group of friends were seeking a place to call home. The desert was too hot, the valley was too wet and the mountain was too windy.             Then they found the forest. It was perfect. The leaves gave shelter from the sun and rain, and a gentle breeze wound through the branches.             But the friends soon wanted to build shelters. The shelters became houses, then the houses got bigger. All too soon they wanted to control the environment and built a huge wooden wall around the community.             As they cut down the trees, the forest becomes thinner, until there is just one last tree standing.             It is down to the children to find a solution.

For a long time horses had not occurred to me at all.'  For a long time, she and her husband have their dog and she almost certainly doesn't want to have a child.  But then the dog dies and she learns she can't have a child even if she wanted to, and she begins to think about horses again. When she hears about a mare who needs looking after part-time, it sounds like an ideal arrangement. Something to care for two days a week, without getting in too deep. But as she brushes and feeds and rides the horse, affection grows into obsession and she must confront what it means to love a being who did not come from her body and who does not belong to her.  Emily Haworth-Booth's award-winning debut novel is a bold and beautiful exploration of contemporary (non)motherhood and the surprising ways in which desire can enthral us and set us free.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53078060106001,"sku":"GOR014731915","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53202830754065,"sku":"GOR014805356","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53240978735377,"sku":"NLS9781803512808","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53245838164241,"sku":"GOR014828406","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781803512808.jpg?v=1771497530"},{"product_id":"mare-book-emily-haworth-booth-9780374617707","title":"Mare","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe story of a horse and the woman who loves her--a lively first novel of not-daughters and non-mothers; animals and animal bodies; and how we find freedom, care, and community in unexpected places.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e For a long time, a woman lives with her husband and their dog.
