Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Literary novel which challenges the reader through the story of Anne, a 'nutter' who has made a life alone in the woods. Dealing with issues of our views of nature and outsiders, this is a poignant and unsentimental read.

Publisher's description:

Tells the story of Anne, a bag lady, seen in the town as one of the older ones from 'la la land'. Long ago, when she was fifteen, she ran away and made her life alone in the woods. She makes a shelter with her own hands, and decorates it; she forages for things to eat, watches the foxes and the deer and the changing seasons as the years go by.
