The Comfort of Crows: A Backyard Year is a poem to nature. Each chapter takes you through one week of each season for a total of 52 chapters to round out a whole year. Go from winter to spring to summer and then fall, learning about the animals and plant life that abound during these times, and how the author cares for nature in her own backyard. Each chapter also has its own beautiful work of art that encompasses what the chapter is about.
This is a book for people who find themselves in the winter of their own lives. This is a book for nature lovers. This is a book about birth and rebirth, cycles, and love.
Read a chapter a week and spread out the book through a whole year. Or devour each chapter, as I did, enjoying the pictures the author paints of the changing seasons.
The Comfort of Crows is published by Spiegel & Grau and will be available to purchase tomorrow (October 24, 2023). I received a free e-ARC.
