‘This is my manifesto for morning.

There is an energy in the earlier hours, an awareness I enjoy. In today’s world we tend to wake as late as we can, timed to when we have to work. But we don’t need to chase the day.’

In Morning, Allan Jenkins shows how getting up earlier even once a week or month can free us to be more imaginative, to maybe read, to walk, to write. He talks to other early risers such as Jamie Oliver and Samuel West, to poets and painters. We hear from a neuroscientist about sleep, a philosopher about dawn, a fisherman about light. Allan wakes early, he listens, he looks. He introduces us to a secret world.

This is a celebration of dawn and morning: the best time of day.

Eleştirmen yorumları

‘In this philosophical hymn to the pleasure of waking early Allan Jenkins says that dawn is an enchanted world behind a hidden door, a time where you can be anybody you want to be, because the rest of the world is asleep… it steadily becomes incredibly persuasive … there’s a golden period to do the things that are otherwise impossible in our busy lives. Seize the day indeed’ Observer
‘A lovely read: illuminating conversations with early risers, from Jamie Oliver to dawn-seeking fishermen, interspersed with diary-style essays. It made me want to set my alarm a full hour earlier’ Psychologies
Praise for Allan Jenkins:
‘Plot 29 is a superbly written testament to the power of earth to nourish and heal. The writing is taut and honed to a sinewy strength, but rich with evocation and delight … I loved it’ Monty Don
‘The sort of book you never forget reading: devastating, haunting and utterly beautiful’ India Knight
‘An absolutely original book. Absolutely brilliant. The best family memoir I’ve read in years’ Bill Buford
‘Allan Jenkins blooms. His garden bears fruit. Enter the seasons with him and grow. I love this book’ Lemn Sissay
‘Brave, exquisitely written and utterly compelling’ Nigel Slater

Listening to this book, I was able to escape the confines of daily life and appreciate early mornings as though I was Allan Jenkins myself.

Profound and poetic

This is a very calming book in that you really do sense the serenity of dawn in it. The author has a somewhat deadpan voice but after hours of upbeat American self-help narrators, even this is fine. The other narrator who voices the interviewees is good but would have been even better if he’d avoided softening his voice to represent women and even putting on a slight Northern lilt for a Yorkshireman. Unnecessary since the content is so good. If you tried the truly awful 5am Club, this is a marvellous antidote to it. Really lyrical, great interviewees and a good argument for waking up early and just pottering. Loved it!

Wonderful manifesto

A beautiful and provocative short book about the benefits of waking early. A mixture of memoir, interviews with artists, scallop fishermen and birdwatchers - a manifesto for morning. I loved it and have got up early every day since I started it.

A call to creativity

As a lark, hearing other morning voices and their routines was inspiring. I love my quiet mornings but this book gave me pause to consider patterns other than my established ones to make more of those lovely, solitary dawns.

I love the format of this book about early morning rising, the author reads his work beautifully as does Samuel West. It's an audio book that I frequently return to and each time I discover something new. I just love it!

Just brilliant! One of my favourites!
