Len Howard, the daughter of a famous poet and a successful concert violinist, was forty years old when she decided to devote the rest of her life to her true love: birds. She bought a small cottage in Sussex where she wrote two international bestsellers, astonishing the world with her observations on the tits, robins, sparrows, and other birds that lived in and around her house, and would even perch on her shoulder as she typed. This novel tells the story of her life, how she defied society's expectations and changed our understanding of bird behaviour.
