This is such a beautifully written nature memoir. I listened to the audio narratives by the author himself which was incredibly soothing. Malay arrives in England from Indonesia and stumbles into the life of an English naturalist. With each forgotten species he learns about he falls more in love with the English countryside in and around his base at Bristol. He tows a fine line between the existential crisis animals face in the wake of human caused climate disaster to hope that these remarkable creatures will adapt.
