A debut essay collection probing the multifaceted range of experiences, both common and unusual, that define human interaction with our wild and human-made worlds. In this luminous debut collection, wilderness guide Hannah Hindley explores small creatures, big landscapes, and the shimmering connections between aquatic life and the human experience. Across eighteen lyrical essays, Love and Other Fish weaves together meticulously researched natural history with deeply personal stories. Drawing on years of work on boats and coastlines, Hindley uses encounters with fish-from remote desert canyons to Alaska's glacier country-as guides for navigating the depths of heartbreak, hope, and transformation. Rendered with a tenderness for both the wild planet and the human heart, Love and Other Fish will leave readers with a renewed sense of wonder at the world around them.
