"A genre-busting masterpiece, full of pacy story-telling, wry dialogue and philosophical challenge...It is funny, beautifully modulated and heart-rending. Róisín Sorahan has written that rare thing nowadays - a book of passion and truth which will enthral and challenge every kind of reader. In contemplating some of life's deepest mysteries it tells a story that is hopeful, honest and necessary."

“An uplifting and tranquil allegory filled with positivity and hope.”

"Time and the Tree is unlike anything I've read in contemporary literature - a beautiful fable fit for difficult and confusing days. This story is about teaching yourself to endure, what you might want to carry with you and what you should probably leave behind."

Sorahan's...ability to bring to life some basic tenets of existence and the existential questions many come to feel during the course of a lifetime creates an insightful read on the level of The Velveteen Rabbit classic..."

“…its simple and crisp plot can only be described as sublime.”  

"Time and the Tree by Róisín Sorahan is truly a masterpiece...A fable of thought provoking metaphors, knowledge and an awareness of the bigger picture...I would recommend it for all who relish beautiful literature, especially stories with a deeper meaning."
