Description
Len Howard was forty years old when she decided to leave her London life and loves behind, retire to the English countryside and devote the rest of her days to her one true passion: birds.
Moving to a small cottage in Sussex, she wrote two bestselling books, astonishing the world with her observations on the tits, robins, sparrows and other birds that lived nearby, flew freely in and out of her windows, and would even perch on her shoulder as she typed.
This moving novel imagines the story of this remarkable woman's decision to defy society's expectations, and the joy she drew from her extraordinary relationship with the natural world.

As someone who loves birds, this is just joyful to read. It's giving historical, cottage core, fairy tale vibes. A woman as musician, wanting to be a scientist, a little bit of love, solitude, a sprinkle of the pre-war sexism stuff, art. It is cozy, but not too much. I just wish I would have learned more about the real Len Howard, since I don't know what is fiction, what is real and what you could learn from her. Anyways. I had fun, I would recommend ✨
