Lessons in Birdwatching follows Ruth, a solitary woman who, in the wake of a personal crisis, takes up birdwatching to reconnect with herself and the world around her. What begins as a simple hobby soon turns into a form of therapy as Ruth begins to observe the small, unnoticed miracles of nature. Her exploration into the world of birds helps her untangle the complexities of her own life, past relationships, and deep-seated grief. As Ruth ventures further into the world of birdwatching, she learns that the answers to her struggles may lie not in the big, dramatic moments, but in the quiet observation of the world and her own inner transformation. Reviews “A tender, poignant narrative that quietly sneaks up on you. Watson’s prose is sharp, delicate, and ultimately uplifting.” — The New York Times Book Review “A beautiful meditation on nature, life, and the transformative power of stillness.” — Bookish
