The Evening Chorus, set in wartime England, is “a quietly commanding narrative of nature’s constancy in a time of unspeakable human ruin. In characteristically effortless prose, Humphreys relates a familiar tale of love and loss in war, but reveals a valuable truth: that nature in its timeless wisdom has the ability to remind humans, in the darkest of days, of their humanity.” Quill & Quire
