The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year
by Margaret Renkl
Beautifully written book that was descriptive and really made you feel like you were there in her yard. (I listened to the audiobook and after reading the comments realized I need to get a hard copy for the artwork!)
There were some parts of the book that didn’t sit well with me, where I felt she was disproportionately ambivalent to the state of our world when she had previously been so passionate. (Accepting that our world is in the current state and you can’t be in a constant state of panic about it on one page, but unwilling to relocate a spider from inside her house on another).
I think I was mostly disappointed because her writing is so transcending, I felt that this let people off the hook when it really could have energized and empowered them.
Overall, it was a very thought provoking book, and I’m a native plant enthusiast, so I enjoyed reading her experiences and was grateful she shared her perspectives. Would recommend, and was a great book club pick!
