_______________’The Morville Hours is the most beautiful book I have read in years’ – Nigel Slater’A truly remarkable book that is both intimate and universal. We are left with a renewed sense of what it is to be human’ – Daily Telegraph’This is gardening writing at its best. Swift’s prose brings the garden alive in all its details, scents and meaning … Evocative, heartfelt and magical’ – Guardian_______________In 1988 Katherine Swift arrived at the Dower House at Morville to create a garden of her own. This beautifully written, utterly absorbing book is the history of the many people who have lived in the same Shropshire house, tending the same soil, passing down stories over the generations. Spanning thousands of years, The Morville Hours takes the form of a medieval Book of Hours. It is a meditative journey through the seasons, but also a journey of self-exploration. It is a book about finding one’s place in the world and putting down roots.
