In The Consolation of Crows, Margaret Renkl presents a literary devotional: fifty-two chapters that comply with the creatures and vegetation in her yard over the course of a yr. As we transfer by the seasons—from a crow spied on New Yr’s Day, its resourcefulness and sense of neighborhood setting a theme for the yr, to the lingering bluebirds of December, revisiting the nest field they utilized in spring—what develops is a portrait of pleasure and grief: pleasure within the ongoing pleasures of the pure world, and grief over winters that finish too quickly and songbirds that develop fewer and fewer. With fifty-two unique colour artworks by the writer’s brother, Billy Renkl, The Consolation of Crows is a beautiful and deeply shifting e-book from a cherished observer of the pure world. Learn Extra
