About this listen
Spring is a deeply moving novel about family, our everyday lives, our joys and our struggles.
"Today is Wednesday the 13th of April 2016, it is 12 minutes to 11, and I have just finished writing this book for you. What happened that summer nearly three years ago, and its repercussions, are long since over. Sometimes it hurts to live, but there is always something to live for."
Spring follows a father and his newborn daughter through one day in April, from sunrise to sunset. A day filled with everyday routine, the beginnings of life and its light, but also its deep struggles and its darkness.

CW: suicide, mental illness
This is a really well written book and a powerful, moving read. It’s written to the author’s baby daughter and describes their family life and how it’s been impacted by his wife’s mental illness. It’s deeply personal, to the extent that it feels a bit intrusive. There’s a detailed and quite graphic reflection on suicide, which is quite tough. A moving but ultimately hopeful reflection on the difficulties and joys of life.
