Vesper Flights, New and Collected Essays by Helen Macdonald
For me the word Essay is too formal for what is a series of deeply personal snapshots of the author's thoughts and experiences triggered by her deep love of nature, her powers of observation and her ability to make us feel that we are part of the natural world she so tellingly depicts. We are introduced to places she loves and to the people associated with those places. This book is a delight, as much about people as about nature, and it is both informative and often very moving.
