My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell
4.0

I think this was an ideal book for me to read during the pandemic. Normally I might struggle more with the 10-year-old capturing animals and be thinking about the class differences, capitalism, colonialism etc. and I still struggled a bit with these issues. But overall I was so envious of the author's life on Corfu, the descriptions of the olive groves, the crystal clear water, the animals everywhere, and his dog companions was a very happy place to be.
