Beastly: The 40,000-Year Story of Animals and Us by Keggie Carew https://amzn.to/3Yc7sec From an award-winning nature writer, true stories of our shared planet, all its inhabitants, and the fascinating ways they connect in the net of life Animals have shaped our minds, our lives, our land, and our civilization. Humanity would not have gotten very far without them—making use of their labor for transportation, agriculture, and pollination; their protection from predators; and their bodies for food and to make clothing, music, and art. And over the last two centuries, humans have made unprecedented advances in science, technology, behavior, and beliefs. Yet how is it that we continue to destroy the animal world and lump its magnificence under the sterile concept of biodiversity? In Beastly, author Keggie Carew seeks to re-enchant readers with the wild world, reframing our understanding of what it is like to be an animal and what our role is as humans. She throws readers headlong into the mind-blowing, heart-thumping, glittering pageant of life, and goes in search of our most revealing encounters with the animal world throughout the centuries. How did we domesticate animals and why did we choose sheep, goats, cows, pigs, horses, and chickens? What does it mean when a gorilla tells a joke or a fish thinks? Why does a wren sing? Beastly is a gorgeously written, deeply researched, and intensely felt journey into the splendor and genius of animals and the long, complicated story of our interactions with them as humans.

Costa-award-winning author Keggie Carew and I chat about her dad and his dementia, about the twists and turns of family life, about forgiveness and about that strange, intangible thing called love. All themes that are skilfully woven into Dadland as its mesmerising narrative flits about in time. Dadland tells the story of Keggie’s father, Lieutenant Colonel Tom Carew, a dashing maverick and daredevil hero of the second world war who was awarded both the Distinguished Service Medal and the Croix de Guerre. In 1943 he joined Churchill’s Special Operations Executive, becoming an undercover guerrilla agent in first France and later Burma.As well as being a natural rebel made for this role, the three-times married Carew is father to four. He’s an exciting – if challenging – dad. Who wouldn’t want to boast to their schoolfriends that their Secret Service dad had been described in the Times of India as Lawrence of Burma? It wasn’t until his final years that Keggie found, up in his attic, a haul of yellowing letters, diaries and papers. Through them she painstakingly pieces together the details of his remarkable life. The heart-breaking twist is that even as she’s discovering her dad, he’s succumbing to dementia. He’s leaving her. “We sit together in the garden and watch the sun set across the pasture,” she writes of her and her father. “Insects rise, the day’s last rays snagging their gossamer wings .. He is completely immersed in it. I watch him watching. He is far away. We sit together, floating in and out of each other’s consciousness .. His world is fading. Coming and going in front of his own eyes; each name hazy, each face a blur of memory. Every house he lived in, every girl he loved, slip-sliding away. Night is beginning to surround him. He stands helplessly, ears ringing with noises he cannot understand, words that don’t make sentences, sounds that don’t make words, faces that are completely new to him, places that he knew so well until yesterday. The hourglass has slowed and quickened simultaneously. And yet. The idea of one day him not being in the world seems an impossibility”. Keggie’s powerful debut work is imbued with the sadness of losing such a man and of him losing himself. How could someone so fearless and dazzling have come to this is its constant underlying refrain. It’s an exploration not only of Tom Carew, but of how we all change and develop through life, yet remain fundamentally the same, and about how our parents’ ways – their talents and flaws – flow inexorably into us no matter how hard we push back.
