Zoë Schlanger: The Light Eaters (2024, HarperCollins Publishers)

A narrative investigation into the new science of plant intelligence and sentience, from National Association …

An ode to our fellow living creatures

I listened to the audiobook, which is narrated by the author, and it was just so good.

I loved the way the narrative played out as she described her talks with botanists around the world. She covered so much ground and made a potentially difficult topic super fun and engaging.

I really love how she mulled alongside the scientists she interviewed and it made me thing a lot about the plants that are around me and how they may feel in the environment.

Exactly the kind of approachable and fun writing I hope to see from journalists. I wonder what the author will take on next!
