Margaret Renkl Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Margaret Renkl

This book is more than a celebration of nature’s multiplicities. It’s also a memoir of one writer’s journey toward understanding and self acceptance. Because when you love the wild world, you can’t help but learn to love the wild wholeness in yourself.

If you, too, need to read something quiet and beautiful and suffused with love, something that does not hide from the too-muchness world but instead offers a gentle reminder of the many recompenses there can be for all its pain, then “Someone” is the novel for you.

This beautiful novel is shot through with such tenderness and humanity, such love and courage and beauty and hope, that it feels almost like a prayer. I hope you’ll read it. I hope everyone will read it.

I have been waiting for this book since I turned the last page of Nothing to See Here, Kevin Wilson’s book before this one. https://t.co/2ioZ93wYZr

Chloe Dalton’s “Raising Hare” is one of the most delightful books I have ever read in one of the most delightful sub-genres of nature writing there is. It’s more than just a charming wildlife-rescue story... “Raising Hare” is a perfect testimony to the transformative power of love.

Set in 1979-80... the book follows one year in the life of Griffin,a high-school freshman who must navigate the voracious needs of the adults charged with nurturing him... a novel to sink into, a novel that immerses you in an entirely different world.

Who else could bring together the story of a two-month scientific expedition to a dying glacier in Antarctica with a meditation on the capacity of human community to save ourselves, each other, and perhaps even the ice itself? ...Only Elizabeth Rush could do that.

...a new favorite novel ... I call it a novel, but it’s more like a hybrid of both fiction and memoir ... So many perfect sentences. So many wrenching truths. So many feelings I recognize so completely it's like they formed in my own bone marrow.

Maybe you think you know how the children of hippies always turn out, but Group Living will disabuse you of all your assumptions. At its heart this book is a recipe for belonging and acceptance. It asks a simple question: What if we all learned to live together truly?
