Description

Patrick Deeley's journey home in autumn 1978 was a poignant moment of loss and transition. His father's passing marked the end of an era, silencing the hurley-making workshop that had been his life's work.

The author recounts his childhood through a series of evocative moments, from the intricate workings of the timber workshop to the slow disassembly of an old tractor. These vignettes offer a glimpse into a rural life that was already beginning to fade away.

With beautifully paced prose, Deeley captures the rhythms and struggles of a way of life that was rapidly changing. This is a poignant and beautifully written account of family, love, loss, and the passage of time.
