SUMMARY:Books and book reading - Where the hornbeam grows by Beth Lynch
DESCRIPTION:A memoir by Beth Lynch. After moving to Switzerland feeling lonely and out of place she realises that she needs to get her hands dirty if she wants to feel at home. She sets about doing this in the best way she knows – by caring for a garden and growing things. \nHer travels across the country searching for a garden\, through meadows and mountain paths where familiar garden plants run wild\, to the rugged hills of the Swiss Jura where she starts to plant her paradise. Her book is a memoir about carrying her garden within her through loss\, dislocation and relocation\, about finding green space of her own and the sense of wellbeing this brings\, and the limits of paradise in a peopled world. Her book powerfully explores how\, by nurturing a corner of the natural world\, we nurture ourselves. \n\nImage –  Green leaf with water drop from Magnific

SUMMARY:Books and book reading - Troubles by J G Farrell
DESCRIPTION:Ireland 1919\, Major Brendan Archer arrives at the Majestic Hotel and his fiancée\, whom he rashly acquired three years earlier while on an afternoon’s leave. Their engagement proves to be short-lived as the lady concerned eludes him. But the crumbling hotel captivates him and he is unable to remove himself from it. He passes the summer in the poorly lit and faded Palm Court\, in the company of aging gentile ladies and an increasing number of cats. He is so enchanted by his surroundings that he is almost unaware of the tensions around him as the fight for Irish independence explodes in full force. \n\nImage – Bertraghboy Bay\, Connemara\, Ireland from Magnific
