'After a period of loss, and much change, Saskia Beudel began walking. Within eighteen months she had walked in the Snowy Mountains, twice along the south coast of Tasmania, the MacDonnell Ranges west of Alice Springs, the Arnhem Land plateau in Kakadu, the Wollemi National Park in New South Wales, and in Ladakh in the Himalayas. Throughout the course of her journeys, she experienced passages of reverie, of forgetfulness, of absorption in her surroundings, of an immense but simple pleasure, and of rhythm. A rhythm that began to integrate into thoughts, words, language.
'A Country in Mind is a narrative memoir of one woman's reflections on home, family and belonging while traversing remote and ancient landscapes.' (Publisher's blurb)
