Short essays looking at the natural world, and, above all, our relationship with it. From field guides to swifts, from berries to watching naturalists themselves, I felt that Helen Macdonald had something new and interesting to say, that I wanted to hear.
I wasn‘t always enamoured with her writing style, but as I settled into it I began to appreciate the slowing down I needed to re-read sentences, and the stretching of my vocabulary.👇🏻
