Gardening In The Dark (Paperback)

Gardening in the Dark begins by evoking a childhood in South Africa under apartheid; it ends with the author as a father evoking his own children and life in France. It is a book which shifts from mourning to love, from poems which are essentially narrative to lyrical prose. Gardening in the Dark, like Denis Hirson's previous work, essentially sets before us the rich and strange, emotion-filled harvest of memory.
