Natasha Carthew was born into a world that sat alongside picture-postcard Cornwall - one where second homes took the sea view of council properties, summer months shifted the course of people's lives, and wealth converged with poverty on sandy beaches.<br><br>In the rockpools and hedgerows of the natural world, Natasha found solace in the wild landscape, and a means of escape in her mobile library. In <i>Undercurrent </i>she retraces the cliff paths of her childhood, determined to make sense of an upbringing shaped by political neglect and a life defined by the beauty of nature.<br>_____<br><br><b>'A story of queer resistance, of community and of finding your own voice' </b><br>DAMIAN BARR<br><b><br>'By turns marvellous, moving and mesmerising' </b><br>ANITA SETHI<br><b><br>'A proud, defiant account' </b><br>CAUGHT BY THE RIVER<br><b><br>'Haunting and powerful' </b><br>KATE MOSSE<br><br><b>'Fierce and honest' </b><br><i>BBC COUNTRYFILE </i>MAGAZINE</p>
