My father was a gardener. Now he is a garden. A man sits by his father's 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 self-deprecation. 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 son's 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 present-day Sofia interweaving the botany of sorrow the consolations of storytelling and the arrival of the first tulips of spring.
