She works with fossils and gems at the Natural History Museum and shares a home with the two people she loves most: her best friend, Harriet, and her partner, Joe. However, beneath this carefully constructed façade lies a past Maggie buried deep inside herself and resolved never to unearth: the story of a guilt-ridden, heartbroken girl who left Australia in her early twenties and swore never to return. But when she learns that she's inherited her beloved uncle's rewilded land in a lush valley of southeast Queensland, Maggie's London life begins to fracture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the nineties, this wild, vivid place shaped Maggie when she was an angry, lost teenager. It was her home and sanctuary, where she experienced the intoxicating powers and limitations of friendship, first love, desire and loyalty – until she betrayed everyone she loved there and fled. When the same land that Maggie turned her back on comes into her care, she is forced to face what we all cannot bury, abandon or forget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the international bestselling author of\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Lost Flowers of Alice Hart\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Seven Skins of Esther Wilding\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ecomes a luminous, deeply emotional and utterly absorbing novel about belonging, memory and the loves and landscapes that make us – and what it takes to come home to ourselves and each other.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe World Beneath Her Feet\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis immersive Australian storytelling at its finest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e-----------\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor Info\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHolly Ringland is the author of two internationally best-selling and multi-award-winning novels,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Lost Flowers of Alice Hart\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Seven Skins of Esther Wilding\u003c\/em\u003e, and one nationally bestselling work of non-fiction,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe House That Joy Built\u003c\/em\u003e.
