A woman finds an injured slow worm in her lawn and watches as its mate returns to comfort it. A coastal rower climbs out of her boat, endangering herself and her crew, just to hear the sound of a minke whale singing beneath them. For all their attempts to define themselves as solitary and self-reliant, modern and cynical, each of these characters gets caught off guard by a sudden chance to reconnect, a chance to start again from scratch.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":",","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57358543225210,"sku":"9781917093231","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.co.uk\/products\/9781917093231","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
