One day she is approached by a trophy hunter, who is keen to track down a rare and elusive bird so that he can shoot it and preserve it - but Sylvia finds herself enabling the bird's escape. Painting beautiful portraits of American countryside, and tapping into deep debates around humans and their relationship with nature, this extraordinary short-story collection was years ahead of its time, and is ripe for rediscovery. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56369214751093,"sku":"9781804470992","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781804470992.jpg?v=1763552534","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781804470992","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
