TENDING: HOW CARE BINDS THE WORLD (HB)

When her husband falls seriously ill, Katherine May finds herself thrown into the world of multigenerational care, trying to hold together home and family as they spin determinedly apart. In the midst of this endless cycle of domestic and emotional work, and ever alert to the precarity of the familial threads that threaten to break, May finds solace in the gentle labour of the garden. With one foot always in the wild, Tending is a timely exploration of connection, community, mortality and how our duties of care shift radically in midlife.
