About the event
Award winning author Sophie Pavelle will be sitting down for an evening of conversation with Andrew McLaughlin, Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust's CEO. And you can be a part of it too.
Sophie and Andrew will be chatting about her latest book, The Wainwright Prize nominated "To Have or To Hold: Nature's hidden relationships"
In To Have or To Hold, Sophie low-carbon travels in the British Isles relishing the interconnectedness between species, celebrating the relationships underpinning natural environments and sharing some of nature's frauds, fortune-tellers, misfits and cheaters.
The natural world is built on parasitism, a cunning blend of bargaining and exploitation in the name of survival. In our relationship with the natural world, are we the parasites? Will we continue to exploit nature's resources? Or will we vow to love and cherish what remains - shaping a more restorative life alongside nature - till death us do part?
