The Landscape of the Heart

Holly Ringland’s childhood was divided between a tropical garden in Australia and a campervan travelling through America’s national parks. The experience left her with a deep passion for the natural world that has wound its way through her writing and her work as co-host of ABC’s Back to Nature series. Ringland’s debut novel, The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, is being made into a seven-part TV series for Amazon Prime and she recently published a second novel, The Seven Skins of Esther Wilding.
