Reader’s Note
9 out of 10
I kept a list of the Aurelianos in the back and lost it twice. Yellow butterflies, insomnia, ice; I'd take the ice chapter over most novels I read this year. Read it right through the drought, which probably helped, or possibly ruined it.

The Hidden Life of Trees reviewed by @mossandink
Kind-hearted, and useful on beech and on how a wood holds water. He keeps telling me the trees are friends, are mothers, are talking; and each time he does it I trust the observation a little less. Fine for a beginner. Not for me.6 out of 10The Hidden Life of Trees
