Staff Pick: "A simple, slow moving and serene novel, this one is about finding the will to go on when our main character becomes completely isolated with only animals for company, our relationship with nature and how we treat it in the pursuit of modern life, and appreciating the little joys in life in the face of loss. A very memorable book that stays close to your heart long afterwards." Sarah J.
