Read the powerful account of one woman's struggle to reshape her
identity when all normality has fallen away. When lifelong
bird-lover Hannah Bourne-Taylor moved with her husband to Ghana
seven years ago she couldn't have anticipated how her life would be
forever changed by her unexpected encounters with nature and the
subsequent bonds she formed. Plucked from the comfort and
predictability of her life before, Hannah struggled to establish
herself in her new environment, striving to belong in the rural
grasslands far away from home. In this challenging situation, she
was forced to turn inwards and interrogate her own sense of
identity, however in the animal life around her, and in two wild
birds in particular, Hannah found a source of solace and a way to
reconnect with the world in which she was living. Fledgling is a
portrayal of adaptability, resilience and self-discovery in the
face of isolation and change, fuelled by the quiet power of nature
and the unexpected bonds with animals she encounters. Hannah
encourages us to reconsider the conventional boundaries of the
relationships people have with animals through her inspiring and
very beautiful glimpse ofwhat is possible when we allow ourselves
to connect to the natural world. Full of determination and
compassion, Fledgling is apowerful meditation on our instinctive
connection to nature. It shows that even the tiniest of birds can
teach us what is important in life and how to embrace every day.
