Space between the stars: on love, loss and the magical power of nature to heal. Indira Naidoo. 2022.

After her younger sister died suddenly, broadcaster Indira Naidoo’s World was shattered. Turning to her urban landscape for solace, Indira found herself drawn to a fig tree overlooking Sydney Harbour. A connection began to build between the two - one with a fractured heart, the other a centurion offering quiet companionship while asking nothing in return. 

As Indira grappled with her heartbreak, an unnoticed universe of infinite beauty revealed itself. With the help of a posse of urban guides, she began to explore how nature - whatever bits of nature are within reach - can heal us during life’s darker chapters, whether nursing a broken heart or an anxious mind.

Space Between the Stars is a heart-rending, at times funny, and uplifting tribute to love and the reassuring cycle of nature that sustains and nourishes us all.
