Time and the Tree is a modern fable about the nature of time and the quest for happiness. It's darkly funny, deceptively simple, and a necessary read for testing times. "A genre-busting masterpiece, full of pacy storytelling, wry dialogue and philosophical challenge..." --DECLAN KIBERD - Author of Inventing Ireland, Professor Emeritus at the University of Notre Dame, and leading authority on modern Irish literature "Time and the Tree by Roisin Sorahan is truly a masterpiece...A fable of thought-provoking metaphors, knowledge and an awareness of the bigger picture...I would recommend it for all who relish beautiful literature..." --San Francisco Book Review (5/5 star rating) "Time and the Tree is unlike anything I've read in contemporary literature - a beautiful fable fit for difficult and confusing days." -- LUKE GERWE - Associate Editor, PBS NewsHour In this gripping philosophical novel, an unlikely cast grapple with choices and grope towards self-knowledge in a world where compassion is interwoven with menace. Lyrical, honest and heart-breaking, Time and the Tree confronts readers with a unique perspective on the challenges life presents. A cross between Samuel Beckett and Aesop's Fables, this wise and hopeful book is uplifting and unsettling by turns. Róisín Sorahan is an Irish author currently living in Vermont.
