"Did I believe that God would answer my prayer? Yes, I knew he would. Not because I believed in God, but because I knew that God believed in foxes."

 Obviously I'm a fan of foxes, I named my child after one, so I couldn't resist this nature memoir. Catherine Raven is a scientist and knows that you should never anthropomorphisise animals but then a Fox befriends her and we discover that sometimes science doesn't know everything! This was a beautiful account of living in the wilderness and figuring out what you want and need from your life. 
 Occasionally I'd wonder if maybe Raven is neurodivergent as it read a bit like a conversation with my Fox when he needs to tell me all the information he has about his current fixation! Plus, Fox also doesn't know how all those stones got into his pockets!

 I've read a few of these nature based memoirs recently and this is one of the better ones. Raven's life is so entrenched in her environment and with her animal neighbours that the human life and the nature facts never felt like separate narratives.

 Obviously it's nature, and some of the neighbours you've grown to love through the story will be eaten, so trigger warning for sudden innards!
