'Poignant ... A meditation on life, love and the importance of
nature' IRISH TIMES Thirty-four years ago, when they were in their
twenties, Niall Williams and Christine Breen made the impulsive
decision to leave their lives in New York City and move to
Christine's ancestral home in the town of Kiltumper in rural
Ireland. In the decades that followed, the pair dedicated
themselves to writing, gardening and living a life that followed
the rhythms of the earth. In 2019, with Christine in the final
stages of recovery from cancer and the land itself threatened by
the arrival of turbines just one farm over, Niall and Christine
decided to document a year of living in their garden and in their
small corner of a rapidly changing world. Proceeding month by month
through the year, this is the story of a garden in all its many
splendours, and a couple who have made their life observing its
wonders.
