A man is found on a beach. He is still alive but no-one seems to know who he is; hence the title of this book. A neuropsychiatrist, Emma, is asked to work on finding out who this mysterious person, dubbed Matthew, is. Adding to the plot, are things about why Emma left the place where the found man is.
This book has honestly received mixed reviews. I am somewhere in the middle. Have you read this? If yes, what did you think?

This book will educate nature lovers. There are chapters on flowers, fruits & ferns; mammals & birds; the ocean, and the night sky. Throughout there are appealing drawings, along with maps and other resources like identification keys.
Each section of this book is quite detailed. For example, the section on trees is carefully broken down by regions as, for example, trees of the southwestern desert.
This title is absolutely packed with information. Readers may want to hone in on the area where they live or a place where they plan to travel for this book to be most helpful. It then provides an excellent resource for someone who seriously wants to know more about their environment. I especially enjoyed a section on birds of my area.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Chronicle Books for this title. All opinions are my own.
