THE PERFECT GIFT FOR NATURE LOVERS, BIRDERS, AND GARDENERS, WITH ORIGINAL COLOR ART THROUGHOUT *USA TODAYBESTSELLER * NATIONAL BESTSELLER * AMAZON EDITORS PICK * INDIE NEXT PICK
From the belovedNew York Timesopinion writer and bestselling author ofLate Migrationscomes a howling love letter to the world (Ann Patchett): a luminous book that traces the passing of seasons, personal and natural.
InThe Comfort of Crows, Margaret Renkl presents a literary devotional: fifty-two chapters that follow the creatures and plants in her backyard over the course of a year. As we move through the seasonsfrom a crow spied on New Years Day, its resourcefulness and sense of community setting a theme for the year, to the lingering bluebirds of December, revisiting the nest box they used in springwhat develops is a portrait of joy and grief: joy in the ongoing pleasures of the natural world, and grief over winters that end too soon and songbirds that grow fewer and fewer.
Along the way, we also glimpse the changing rhythms of a human life. Grown children, unexpectedly home during the pandemic, prepare to depart once more. Birdsong and night-blooming flowers evoke generations past. The city and the country where Renkl raised her family transform a little more with each passing day. And the natural world, now in visible flux, requires every ounce of hope and commitment from the authorand from us. For, as Renkl writes, radiant things are bursting forth in the darkest places, in the smallest nooks and deepest cracks of the hidden world.
With fifty-two original color artworks by the authors brother, Billy Renkl,The Comfort of Crowsis a lovely and deeply moving book from a cherished observer of the natural world.
