Originally published in the UK as Owl Sense, by Guardian Faber”A beautiful book; wise & sharp-eared as its subject.” —Robert MacfarlaneOne minute I was sipping my tea by the window. There was nothing but the palest edge of grey light & a wisp of steam from my cup—and then a shadow swooped out of the air. With the lightest of scratches, as if the dawn light was solidifying into life, there it was, perched like an exclamation mark on the balcony: an owl, come to my home.Owls have existed for over sixty million years, & in the relatively short time we have shared the planet with these majestic birds they have ignited the human imagination. But even as owls continue to captivate our collective consciousness, celebrated British nature writer Miriam Darlington finds herself struck by all she doesn’t know about the true nature of these enigmatic creatures.
Darlington begins her fieldwork in the British Isles with her teenage son, Benji. As her avian fascination grows, she travels to France, Serbia, Spain,
Finland, & the frosted Lapland borders of the Arctic for rare
encounters with the Barn Owl, Tawny Owl, Long-eared Owl, Pygmy Owl,
Snowy Owl, & more. But when her son develops a mysterious illness, her
quest to understand the elusive nature of owls becomes entangled with
her search for finding a cure.
In The Wise Hours, Darlington watches & listens to the
natural world and to the rhythms of her home & family, inviting
readers to discover the wonders of owls alongside her while rewilding
our imagination with the mystery, fragility, & magnificence of all
creatures.
Miriam Darlington contributes frequently to The Times, The Guardian, & The Ecologist, & is also the author of Otter Country, forthcoming in the US from Tin House in 2024. She lives in Devon, England. Read more
