  The journey through life came to a T-junction.
  This is your invitation to pry into the diary, be the other tourist on the train, a voyeur at the accident, an eavesdropper on the argument. 
  
  Two one-track minds merge with train-wreck results.
   
  The girl Graham Field left in England is not the one who
  arrives in India. Sofia sees the trip as her swansong before motherhood,
  impatient to exchange backpack for a baby sling.
   
  So begins the journey which is the: 
   
  Indian Itinerary of Endurance
  
    A cold snap makes for a chilly reception in Delhi
    First-class aggravation in Agra, tension at the Taj Mahal
    Backtrack to the ghost city of Fatehpur Sikri, a brief respite from outstretched hands
    Non-stop to balmy Bombay and a runny bum
    Tunnel vision, reaching down a Goan sewer for the irretrievable
    Cross-country to Pondicherry, pondering decoupling
    Wrong side of the tracks in Madras
    Mind the gap year in Mahabalipuram
    Grave digging, scrotum flicking, a big bhang triggers a pointless train of
  thought in Konark
    Striking differences in Calcutta
    Teased in Darjeeling, limited Himalayan view
    Letting off steam walking into Nepal
    Curfew and confrontation, the relationship reaches the end of the line in Kathmandu

  Marooned in LA by the pandemic, a marine biologist rediscovers the delights and wonders of the natural world in her own backyard. 
   
   
   
  Conservationist and marine biologist Maddalena Bearzi made her career studying the wild creatures of the deep, but when COVID-19 made landfall on the California coast this seafaring scientist found herself shuttered up ashore, her wide blue world constricted by pandemic lockdown. Never good at sitting idle, she despaired at the confines of her Los Angeles flat—until she began to find wonder in the wilderness of her own backyard. 
   
   
   
  Stranded charts Bearzi's discovery of both rapture and resilience in the unsung wildlife of urban LA. With a green thumb and a canine sidekick, she finds as much to marvel at in her garden's singing blackbirds, night-blooming cacti, and industrious wasps as in the whales, dolphins, and sea lions at the center of her maritime adventures. Discovering in the quotidian an antidote to the grief occasioned by captivity and climate chaos, Bearzi reveals how each of us can take heart, find courage, and discover inspiration in the thrumming systems of life that surround us. With a scientist's precision and a poet's instinct, she invites us to look at, listen to, and revel in the everyday grandeur of the natural world—and to embrace, with urgency, our responsibility to sustain it.
