What begins with a renovation of her late mother's summer cottage swiftly turns into an exploration of nature, life and philosophy, in which Nina Burton reveals the inner lives and hitherto unknown habits of the animals with which she shares. Within the walls, the ceiling and the floor of the cottage and its surrounding garden, she encounters a host of animals - ants, honey bees, foxes, squirrels, blackbirds, badgers, pigeons, deer and many more - all of whom have made her house and garden their home, and all of whom cause Nina to reflect on their role within our world.
