5.0

A haunting tale of isolation and connection interspersed with rich imagery drawn from the authors own experience as a wildlife scientist. 

Wow.

I would never picked this up, despite the hype, had I not been gifted it. 

I am so glad I persevered with this book, despite the hard-to-understand-in-places, written, southern dialect, as it’s the best thing I’ve read in over a year.
