I Hate to Leave This Beautiful Place by Howard Norman

4.0

Themes of death, abandonment, and the consolation of nature (especially birds) weave their way through this memoir. It's less of a life story than a story of a few moments in a life. It's not an exciting book I would tell everyone to run out and read, but it does give some interesting insights into a writer's mind and development. I think some of this will stay with me.
