520    Long Litt Woon met Eiolf a month after arriving in Norway 
       from Malaysia as an exchange student. They fell in love, 
       married, and settled into domestic bliss. Then Eiolfs 
       unexpected death at fifty-four left Woon struggling to 
       imagine a life without the man who had been her partner 
       and anchor for thirty-two years. Adrift in grief, she 
       signed up for a beginners course on mushrooming, a course 
       the two of them had planned to take togetherand found, to 
       her surprise, that the pursuit of mushrooms rekindled her 
       zest for life. This is the story of parallel journeys: an 
       inner one, through the landscape of mourning, and an outer
       one, into the fascinating realm of mushroomsresilient, 
       adaptable, and essential to natures cycle of death and 
       rebirth. From idyllic Norwegian forests and urban flower 
       beds to the sandy beaches of Corsica and New Yorks Central
       Park, Woon uncovers an abundance of surprises often hidden
       in plain sight. Along the way, she discovers the warm 
       fellowship of other mushroom obsessives, and finds that 
       giving her full attention to the natural world transforms 
       her, opening a way for her to survive Eiolfs death, to see
       herself anew, and to reengage with life.
