Some of us just fall : on nature and not getting better
Atkin, Polly2024
Books
After years of unexplained health problems, Polly Atkin's perception of her body was rendered fluid and disjointed. When she is finally diagnosed with two chronic conditions in her thirties, she begins to piece together what has been happening to her. Searching for a sense of belonging, she tries to find her place in the world even as her own body seems to be working against her. 'Some of Us Just Fall' combines memoir, pathography, and nature writing to trace a fascinating journey from Polly's childhood in Nottingham to her current home in the Lake District, where outdoor swimming is purported to cure all ills.
