Illustrated by
Bagram Ibatoulline.
In the quiet early morning, Liz and her father, a recently returned soldier, embark on a crow hunt. Throughout the process, they forge poignant new connections while becoming reacquainted. Based on Lowry's own experience, the story is conveyed with a sensitive, lyrical voice. Ibatoulline uses touches of light in his realistic watercolor and acryl-gouache paintings, bringing warmth to the barren November landscape.
