The Mourner's Bestiary

The Mourner's Bestiary is a meditation on grief and survival told through the stories of animals in two collapsing marine ecosystems—the Gulf of Maine and the Long Island Sound—and the lives of a family facing a life-threatening illness on their shores. The Gulf of Maine is the world's fastest-warming marine ecosystem, and the Long Island Sound has been the site of conservation battles that predict the fights ahead for the Gulf. Eiren Caffall is the inheritor of a family legacy of two hundred years of genetic kidney disease and raising a child who may inherit that legacy also. The Mourner's Bestiary braids environmental research with a memoir of generational healing and details the work it takes to get there for the human and animal lives caught in tides of loss.Author: Caffall, Eiren,author Contributors: Caffall, Eiren,author Binding: hardcover Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Published/Release Date: 25 Nov 2024 Format: Hardback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Row House Publishing Author/Director/Artist: Eiren Caffall Dimension (cm): 210x140x36 mm Package Dimension (cm): 31x225x150 mm Item Weight (g): 1050 Package Weight (g): 450
