Blue Bicycle Books presents A Renkl in Two Weeks' Time

Wed., Oct. 18, 5:30 pm, New York Times columnist Margaret Renkl will be in the courtyard for her new devotional The Comfort of Crows (Spiegel & Grau, 288 pp.,$32).

In 52 chapters, each with original color illustrations, Renkl follows the creatures and plants in her backyard over the course of a year. As we move through the seasons—from a crow spied on New Year’s Day, its resourcefulness and sense of community setting a theme for the year—what develops is a portrait of joy and grief.  

This event is presented by the Charleston Natural History Society (formerly the Charleston Audubon Society).
