In Kiltumper: A Year in an Irish Garden Niall Williams

'I read it with enormous pleasure ... Heartbreaking, uplifting ... A delight' TIM PEARS 'I loved their two voices, truthful and gentle and generous' GEORGINA HARDING 'Magical ... Arresting ... Read it and be restored to yourself' IRISH CENTRAL ____________________ 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.

In Kiltumper Bewertungen

I read it with enormous pleasure ... There were so many episodes I loved, whether they were heartbreaking or uplifting ... It was a delight to step into Niall and Christine's precious garden, into the rhythms of their way of living, and to be refreshed -- TIM PEARS
I loved their two voices, truthful and gentle and generous, so full of care for their land and for each other ... A record of how deeply life can be lived within a garden's walls -- GEORGINA HARDING
A beautiful story, with words at once uplifting and poignant. Full of the acceptance and the optimism that only a garden and the act of caring for it brings -- JO THOMPSON
This is a book to whet one's appetite - for reading, writing, gardening - and living. I loved the counterpoint of the two voices as they face age, cancer, the struggle to write, to garden - to keep at it - under the threat of wind turbines and the wild Atlantic wind; not to give up. A triumph -- KATHERINE SWIFT
Arresting ... Remarkable ... This book, in Seamus Heaney's phrase, catches the heart off guard ... But that strange exactitude, that respect for time, tradition, location, and the heart's desire can be found on every page of this uncommonly magical book. Read it and be restored to yourself * Irish Central *
A celebration of the solace of country life ... Country living, Breen reflects, teaches about darkness and stars, about sunlight and silence, about things out of your control: about the inevitability of change. The book includes Breen's elegant botanical drawings. A warm homage to a piece of beloved Irish land * Kirkus Reviews *
The book will appeal to any devoted gardener, and it also serves as an inviting snapshot of a place -- Eric Liebetrau * Kirkus Reviews *
