Vesper FlightsVesper Flights

A work about our relationship to the natural world... from reflections on science fiction to the true story of an Iranian refugee's flight to the UK. Peppered throughout are reminisces of her own life, from her strange childhood in an estate owned by the Theosophical Society to watching total eclipses of the sun, visits to Uzbek solar power plants, eccentric English country shows, and desert hunting camps in the Gulf States. These essays move from personal experiences into wider meditations about love and loss and how we build the world around us.
