'Intensely readable, poetic, truthful, wise and wonderful.' STEPHEN FRY
'An extraordinary book.' SUNDAY TIMES
Struggling to comprehend the shocking death of his teenage daughter, Ben Goldsmith finds solace in nature by immersing himself in plans to rewild his farm.
In July 2019, Ben Goldsmith lost his fifteen-year-old daughter, Iris, in an accident on their family farm in Somerset. Iris's death left her family reeling.
Grasping for answers, Ben threw himself into searching for some ongoing trace of his beloved child, exploring ideas that until then had seemed too abstract to mean much to him. Missing his daughter terribly and struggling to imagine how he would face the rest of his life in the shadow of this loss, Ben found solace in nature, the object of a lifelong fascination. As Ben set about rewilding his farm, nature became a vital source of meaning and hope.
This book is the story of a year of soul-searching that followed a terrible loss. In an instant, Ben's world had turned dark. Yet, unbelievably to him, the seasons kept on turning, and as he immersed himself in the dramatic restoration of nature in the place where it happened, he found healing.
In God is an Octopus, Ben tells a powerful, immersive and inspiring story of finding comfort and strength in nature after suffering loss and despair.

Autoren-Porträt von Ben Goldsmith
Ben Goldsmith has been a pioneer in the field of green investment, as well as a leading light in the rewilding movement in Britain and Europe. Ben and his wife, Jemima, are in the process of rewilding their own farm in South Somerset, and Ben has been involved in the establishment of numerous environmental initiatives, including the Environmental Funders' Network, the Conservative Environment Network, Rewilding Britain, the Beaver Trust and the Conservation Collective, a growing network of locally-focused environmental foundations around the world. Ben was appointed a Director of the UK Government's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs for five years, until 2022. In that role, he successfully advocated for a number of ground-breaking environmental restoration policies, including the new Environmental Land Management scheme, which links all agriculture subsidies with stewardship and restoration of nature, the Nature for Climate Fund and the Species Reintroductions taskforce.
