A review by jess_mango
Vesper Flights by Helen Macdonald

4.0

Vesper Flights is a collection of beautifully written long essays about nature and animals. Macdonald has a way with words and does a wonderful job sharing her love of the animal kingdom. The whole vibe of the book overall is very meditative and relaxing, even when she is discussing animals in trouble. She uses her observations of animals to highlight things she's learned about herself and humanity. This is a great book to read in several doses during quiet moments.

If you haven't read her previous book, the memoir H is for Hawk, I highly recommend that one as well!

Thank you to the publisher for the advanced review copy of this book!
