A review by annelies
Vesper Flights by Helen Macdonald

5.0

This is the first book of nature writing I have read. I didn't know what to expect. I knew I'd like it, but I didn't think it would be challenging in parts, forcing me to think about the environment and how I personally interact with it. I also didn't expect the vast topics that could fall into this category: scientific studies, solar eclipses, backyard birding. The writing was brilliant and I loved the variation in length between the essays. I can't wait to read more of her writing.
