Praise for Tove Danovich's UNDER THE HENFLUENCE: “A heartfelt account of raising pet hens. . . Anyone who’s mulled the possibility of setting up a backyard coop will find this the next best thing.” —Publishers Weekly “Not intended to be a how-to for amateur poultry breeders, Danovich’s work does offer broad and compelling insight into how raising chickens transforms and enriches human lives.” —Booklist “Under the Henfluence clocks our obsession with chicken-keeping. Highbrow / Brilliant.” —New York Magazine “Share[s] the life-enhancing joys of the humble hen.” —The Sunday Times “A realistic and immersive look into our relationship with those beings in our care. . . Under the Henfluence makes it impossible for the reader not to think of—and possibly love—the idea of chickens in a new way.” —Mira Ptacin, Modern Farmer “I enjoyed every single page.” —Marc Bekoff, Ph.D., Psychology Today “A call to arms, but in an entertainingly written, well-paced way. It certainly makes you think.” —Kate Green, Country Life
