Thank you to NetGalley and Elliott & Thompson for approving my request to read an arc of this book

Nature and animals are one of my special interests, birds being one of my favourite creatures in wildlife, so I was excited to read this book when I saw the gorgeous cover.
Animals have been known to have a healing nature, even if it’s just looking after them making you also have to care for yourself, at least on a basic level, or even just being in certain animals presence can provide a balm to anxiety, depression or pain. Polly Atkin can attest to this as her story tells of when her illness brought her to her family home for a year and she saw her first glimpse of the owls that would come to mean so much.
This was a beautiful story. I also enjoyed the writing style
