Likedthe otter tale is a lot more narratively driven you really feel like you get the chance to get to know this little family of otter even if the author probably did make a lot of guesses to bring that story to us

The Otters' Tale (2017)
Creators: Liked Otters hold an almost unique place in the animal kingdom of the British Isles, being one of the very few creatures that give birth once every two years. Simon Cooper lives in a normal house in a normal village, but with one extraordinary feature - wild otters live in his house. This close relationship has given him a unique insight into the life of otters. The female otter, Kuschta, is the central character to this story, but Simon interweaves her personal story with the natural history of the otter.

Sarah M. BroomA brilliant, haunting and unforgettable memoir from a stunning new talent about the inexorable pull of home and family, set in a shotgun house in New Orleans East.
In 1961, Sarah M. Broom’s mother Ivory Mae bought a shotgun house in the then-promising neighborhood of New Orleans East and built her world inside of it. It was the height of the Space Race and the neighborhood was home to a major NASA plant—the postwar optimism seemed assured. Widowed, Ivory Mae remarried Sarah’s father Simon Broom; their combined family would eventually number twelve children. But after Simon died, six months after Sarah’s birth, the Yellow House would become Ivory Mae’s thirteenth and most unruly child.
A book of great ambition, Sarah M. Broom’s The Yellow House tells a hundred years of her family and their relationship to home in a neglected area of one of America’s most mythologized cities.
