Time and the Tree by Róisín Sorahan

The 2nd edition of Time and the Tree has just been released with a gorgeous new cover and interior artwork.

It is published and curated by Imbolc Books.

A philosophical drama that unfolds over the course of four seasons, set in a fairy-tale forest.

Darkly funny and deceptively simple, Time and the Tree offers a unique perspective on the challenges contemporary life presents. It considers the passage of time and the quest for happiness, as an unlikely cast grapple with choices and grope towards self-knowledge in a world where compassion is interwoven with menace. Lyrical, and ultimately hopeful, it has the hallmark of a modern-day classic.

"A genre-busting masterpiece."

"With whispers of Madeleine L'Engle, Sorahan crafts a modern parable as philosophical as it is fantastical."
