For readers of Rachel Cusk and Jenny Odell, a lyrical work of autofiction that explores the dissolution of boundaries between the self and our earth as we head towards ecological catastrophe. In her village, neighbors argue, keep secrets, care for one another, and try to hold down jobs. A requiem for the English countryside, a story of remote violence, and a work of praise for a persistently lively world, Daisy Hildyard’s Emergency reinvents the pastoral novel for the climate change era.

I found this quite a curious, gloomy read but not in a bad way! It’s well-written, lyrical and I enjoyed the brutal snippets of life growing up in a rural community and then in lockdown as an adult. All views are my own. Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC.
There are beautiful, poetic descriptions of nature and she looks at how all life, big and small, near and far, is interconnected. It filled me with a sense of unease throughout, but was an interesting, thought-provoking read.
The narrator, stuck alone during lockdown, looks back at the disconnected memories of her childhood living in the countryside.
