A cross between Samuel Beckett and Aesop’s Fables, Time and the Tree confronts readers with a unique perspective on the challenges life presents, as it delves into the human predicament.

"A genre-busting masterpiece, full of pacy storytelling, wry dialogue and philosophical challenge. It shows a heightened awareness of the promises of language as portals into the deepest reflections. It is funny, beautifully modulated and heart-rending…In contemplating some of life's deepest mysteries, it tells a story that is hopeful, honest and necessary."

“Time and the Tree is unlike anything I’ve read in contemporary literature – a beautiful fable fit for difficult and confusing days. This story is about teaching yourself to endure, what you might want to carry with you, and what you should probably leave behind.”

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

"A masterpiece."

"The most beautiful, lyrical, thought provoking, superbly written book I've ever read."

"I envisioned a cover that conveys the essence of the novel: change is the only certainty in life. This idea is embodied by an illustration I created, intertwining nature in time and time in nature: a tree as a clock, its branches as needles spinning endlessly through a seasonal cycle of decay and renewal."
