Death and the Gardener

From the author of Time Shelter, this poignant novel explores themes of grief, memory, and storytelling as a man reflects on his father’s life and their shared history. Set against the backdrop of Bulgaria from post-World War II to the present, the story weaves together myth, place, and emotion, capturing the quiet rituals of mourning with both tenderness and humor. Translated by Angela Rodel, Death and the Gardener offers a deeply moving meditation on how we preserve loved ones in memory.
