“An intimate, passionate, and fresh perspective on the natural world and our place within it.”
“Poignant. . . Readers will be moved.”
“Regan’s latest work may very well surpass the critical success and praise of her debut in 2019. Her honesty is captivating, and her writing creates a tangible experience that is remarkable and unforgettable. This is a story many readers will not want to miss.”
“[Regan] mines her own history and puts it into dialogue with her influence—the books and shows she likes, the region she’s spent her life in—so effectively that the contrast between the two blurs.”

Praise
“I found myself dreaming the entire read that I was walking behind Iliana through the woods she calls home and through her vivid, beautifully told recollections of the past. The perfect companion piece to Burn the Place.”
“In fierce, tender prose, Fieldwork continues and deepens Iliana Regan's investigations of DNA, family, her body, and all things worth foraging in the natural world, revealing herself as one of that world's most lucid defenders.”
“Fieldwork is: you and the irreplaceable Iliana Regan, using bolt cutters to break into the dark barn of memory.”
"Fieldwork is the second book by Iliana Regan and what a superb follow-up it is to her highly acclaimed Burn the Place. This is not just a book about IIiana’s love of the forest and the things that reside in this magical place but it’s also an intimate reflection on what makes her who she is, and with that we can fully relate."
