In Her Nature is a thrilling book on women outdoors. Tracking the authors own experiences with running across moors and mountains, while depicting the story of one of the foremothers of outdoor sport Lizzie Le Blond who scaled alpine peaks in large woolen skirts. The two stories intertwining and telling a story of bereavement and belonging outdoors.
