'We tend to think, now, that life is what happens in-between, and that care is somehow an anomaly, a mistake. Instead, it is perhaps the most intrinsic part of our humanity.'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. Drawn into an endless cycle of domestic and emotional work and ever alert to the precarity of the familial threads that threaten to break, the gentle labour of the garden becomes May's solace. 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. Drawing on art, mythology, philosophy and the natural world, it asks what it means to give - and receive - care, capturing both the hardship and the transcendence, and inviting us to see its unsung work as the beating heart of our lives.
