Life’s Losses, What Remains and a Tree’s Quiet Departure
Alice Taylor reflects on grief, ageing and the little ways we rebuild meaning-sparked by the loss of a tree planted before she was born-offering no easy answers, just stories that show what remains when the storms pass.
- Book Synopsis
-
As we go through life we weather many storms. We lose family members, close friends and animals we love, and they take with them the warmth and shared memories of many years.
Alice discovered recently that the loss of a much-loved tree, planted before she was born, caused an emotional upheaval she had not anticipated.
With the loss of her favourite tree that had enriched her life for decades, she began to ask herself: are there ways to make later life rich and interesting? How do you make growing older a good time in life?
She has no answers, only a story to be shared.
- About The Author
- Alice Taylor lives in the village of Innishannon in County Cork, in a house attached to the local supermarket and post office. Her first book, To School Through the Fields, was published in 1988. It was an immediate success and quickly became the biggest selling book ever published in Ireland. Alice has written nearly twenty books since then, largely exploring her beloved village and the ways of life in rural Ireland. She has also written poetry and fiction: her first novel, The Woman of the House, was an immediate bestseller. Most recently, she wrote a children's picture book with her daughter Lena Angland, called Ellie and the Fairy Door.
