Late Migrations: A Natural History of Love and Loss

Settle into this debut work, a shimmering memoir of family and place told in lyrical linked essays, some no more than a few enticing sentences and vivid illustrations by the author's brother. Late Migrations captures stories of kinship and personal legacies of grief, joy, cruelty, loss and caring, while rippling throughout with observations of the close natural world of her backyard, woods and fields, trees, grasses, flowers, birds, snakes and insects.
