The Comfort of Crows
by Margaret Renkl
Book Overview
Margaret Renkl spends a year in her Nashville backyard and bordering woods, tracking keen crows, nesting bluebirds, and a secretive bobcat as the seasons turn. Their peril and persistence mirror her own reckoning with an emptying nest, the deaths of elders, and the press of ecological decline, as she practices fierce attention to claim solace and locate wild, stubborn joy.
