Description: For fans of The Shepherd's Life a poignant memoir and #1 Irish bestseller about a wayward son's return home to his family's farm and how he found a new beginning in an age - old world Farming has been in John Connell's family for generations but he never intended to follow in his father's footsteps. Until one winter after more than a decade away he finds himself back on the farm. Connell records the hypnotic rhythm of the farming day cleaning the barns caring for the herd tending to sickly lambs helping the cows give birth. Alongside the routine events there are the unforeseen moments when things go wrong: when a calf fails to thrive when a sheep goes missing when illness breaks out when an argument between father and son erupts and things are said that cannot be unsaid. The Farmer's Son is the story of a calving season and the story of a man who emerges from depression to find hope in the place he least expected to find it. It is the story of Connell's life as a farmer and of his relationship with the community of County Longford with his faith with the animals he tends and above all with his father.
