In Kiltumper: A Year in an Irish Garden
Description :
Bloomsbury presents In Kiltumper by Niall Williams and Christine
Breen.From the authors of This Is Happiness and Her Name Is Rose,
a memoir of life in rural Ireland and a meditation on the power,
beauty and importance of the natural world.Thirty-five years ago,
when they were in their 20s, Niall Williams and Christine Breen
made the impulsive decision to leave their lives in New York City and
move to Christine&#8217sancestral 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 splendors and a couple who
have made their life observing its wonders.
