Thank you to Charco Press for my free review copy of this one!
This book is a beautiful reflection on the end of a relationship and the healing of our protagonist following his break up with his boyfriend. He moves to the countryside, chaining himself to the changing seasons, growing a garden however mother nature will allow him. It’s a gorgeous meditation on reconnecting with nature, but my word it move at a glacial pace. It’s barely 200 pages but it took me about a week and a half to get through it. It was lovely when I was immersed in it, but when I put it down it didn’t exactly call out to me to pick it back up.
