A widower grows time in his back garden.
A woman slips into the mezzanine level of Tuesday.
Moments drift like seeds. Memories dry like laundry.
And the moon is quietly rearranged by a boy no one sees but her.
A G A I N S is a haunting, lyrical collection of surreal stories exploring the invisible moments between seconds - where the strange hides in plain sight and the tender lives quietly beside the uncanny.
From forgotten selves whispering in a hallway cupboard to the quiet gardeners of time, these five tales unravel the soft, magical threads woven through ordinary lives.
For readers of Shaun Tan, Calvino, Ali Smith, and Erin Morgenstern, this is a book about what returns to us when we least expect it, what grows when we aren't looking, and the quiet miracles that shape the margins of our days.
Inventive. Emotional. Uncanny.
A collection for anyone who has ever felt the world tilt slightly sideways.
