I was provided an advanced listening copy from Libro.fm.
This was such a lovely listen. The author does her characters and lyrical writing with a touch of humor complete justice.
If you love foxes and animal stories or historical fi tion, this is a perfect read. It's well paced and satisfying, and the characters are well realized and loveable. Some readers may struggle with the split POV, one is first person past, the other a tight third person present. I personally thought it was a bold choice that helped separate the characters' worldviews and agency- the former an immortal fox, the latter a luckless and mortal private investigator.
For fans of history, animals, myth, and magic realism.
