My father was a gardener. Now he is a garden. A man sits by his fathers bedside and reports radically and gently until a final winter morning. His father was one of that generation of tragic smokers born right after the World War II in Bulgaria, who clung to the snorkels of their cigarettes. A rebel without a cause, he knew how to fail with heroic selfdeprecation. The garden he created out of a barren village yard first saved him, then killed him It remains his living legacy peonies and potatoes, roses and cherry trees and endless stories. But without him, his sons past, with all its afternoons, began to quietly crack. Because the end of our fathers is the end of a world. From the winner of the International Booker Prize, comes a novel about a father, a son, and an orphaned garden in a fading world that spans from ancient Ithaca to presentday Sofia, interweaving the botany of sorrow, the consolations of storytelling and the arrival of the first tulips of spring.
