Description
Across nine globe-spanning stories, this debut collection invites you into the minds of animals who witness human lives from their own intimate, often startlingly articulate perspectives. From a mourning hound guarding the memory of an endangered rhino to vultures searching for meaning after a loss, each narrative turns on the emotional stakes of survival, care, and connection. With themes of environmentalism and conservation braided together with questions of identity, belonging, family, and grief, the book finds tenderness in the smallest gestures and urgency in what we choose to protect. Talia Lakshmi Kolluri’s lyrical, immersive style—recognized by major literary honors and prize longlists—makes the natural world feel not as backdrop, but as a living community with its own inner lives.
