Human, Animal is an ode to the wild, an elegy for what we have lost and a reproof of our society's inability to find common ground.

Since the death of his brother, veteran dairy farmer George has been struggling to keep the family business afloat. His troubles only worsen when animal rights activists descend on his cowshed one morning to film content for their social media.

The fallout is unprecedented, especially as George's youngest child appears to side with the activists. As the family navigate the real-world consequences of going viral, George's elderly mother sleepwalks back to her youth, and a secret she has carried with her for decades – one that could change everything for them all.©2025 Seth Insua Animals Family Life Genre Fiction Literary Fiction Political

Really enjoyed this. The story was beautifully and thoughtfully written keeping me engaged throughout. It is told through the lens of three characters over two time periods each performed brilliantly by the three voice actors. Five stars!

Fantastic

This is like a radio play with three voice actors for the three main characters. A beautiful, empathetic story of family, identity, and finding a way through conflict even when it seems impossible. Listen to this excellent book!

I was so attached to this book. The characters are so real and I felt transported to whichever place or era. Brilliant narration too, it felt like a radio play. A very thought provoking and emotional story, I can't believe this is a debut! Fantastic...

A compelling story about family dynamics and generational differences. The writing is sensitive and thoughtful and the reader can sympathise with characters on both sides of the central conflict. Highly recommend this brilliant book.

A moving story, beautifully written

Human, Animal is a thoughtful and quietly powerful read that really champions empathy and understanding. In a world that feels more divided every day, this book stands out by showing people—not heroes or villains—just doing what they think is right.

The characters are instantly likable and believable, and the story avoids easy answers. Everyone has their reasons, and that makes it feel real. The narration is warm and steady.

It’s one of those books that gently stays with you, reminding you how important it is to see things from someone else’s point of view. Simple, moving, and very human.

Real and thought provoking
