You give a stern criticism of human greed for money and power, and general disrespect for the planet. I thought that was brilliantly done all throughout your book, and I could not agree more with everything you said. What made you include this into your story?

Huh, I guess I was always a bit of an ecologist, and a bit of an anarchist. Since I was a little girl, nature meant everything to me. While others played with dolls, I climbed trees. I spent the majority of my childhood pretending to be an animal, either hanging from a branch or running on all fours. It was embarrassing even, when other thirteen-year-olds already dressed in heels and took on smoking while I trained jumping over obstacles on all fours.
Since forever, I could feel the damage we were doing to our planet in my bones. I could see the hypocrisy of humanity even when I wasn’t yet sure how to use the toilet, and then as an adult, consumerism was always something bothering me, especially when succumbing to the same temptations I dared judge in others. In the book, I criticise myself as well as everyone else.
