Katherine Swift
The Morville Hours
Tuesday 18th May, 5.15 pm
Rendall Lecture Theatre 9
Katherine Swift lives at The Dower House, Morville Hall in Shropshire. She worked as a rare book librarian in Oxford and Dublin before becoming a full-time gardener and writer in 1988. Spanning thousands of years, The Morville Hours (2008) takes the form of a medieval Book of Hours. It is a meditative journey through the seasons, but also a journey of self-exploration. It is a book about finding one’s place in the world and putting down roots.
All welcome. Drinks to follow.
