书籍简介

《奥普拉杂志》2023年度好书:一本神奇而可爱的回忆录……《幸运的女人》一书的作者波莉·莫兰说:“这本书充满了对生活世界的挑战和惊奇，就像我们的英雄一样狂野和不羁。然后，就在我再次挥动铁锹之前，我看到了一只喜鹊，就在刀刃旁边，被地上的树叶掩盖着。”它好斗地蹲着，用微型喜鹊的愤怒抬头盯着我。

乔治。当弗里达·休斯(Frieda Hughes)搬到威尔士乡村深处时，她本来打算做一些事情:种植花园、画画，并为《泰晤士报》(Times)撰写诗歌专栏。但相反，她发现自己正在拯救一只小喜鹊，这是一只在暴风雨中被摧毁的巢穴的幸存者，并开始了一项改变她生活轨迹的痴迷。

当喜鹊乔治从一个尖叫的羽毛和骨头碎片成长为一个聪明、不守规矩的伙伴时，弗里达发现自己被迷住了——并担心当释放他的时候会发生什么。

An Oprah Magazine Book of the Year 2023'A magical, endearing memoir ... the literary romance of the year' Oprah'This book pulses with a defiant wonder at the living world, as wild and unruly as our feathered hero' Polly Morland, author of A Fortunate WomanThen, just in time, before I swung the spade again, I saw, right by the blade and camouflaged by the leaves on the ground, a magpie chick. It squatted belligerently, peering up at me with miniature magpie fury.

George. When Frieda Hughes moved to the depths of the Welsh countryside, she was expecting to take on a few projects: planting a garden, painting and writing her poetry column for the Times. But instead, she found herself rescuing a baby magpie, the sole survivor of a nest destroyed in a storm - and embarking on an obsession that would change the course of her life.

As the magpie, George, grows from a shrieking scrap of feathers and bones into an intelligent, unruly companion, Frieda finds herself captivated - and apprehensive of what will happen when the time comes to finally set him free.
