A Behanding in Spokane by Martin Mcdonagh

A Behanding in Spokane by Martin Mcdonagh

An intriguing story of a place, a person and the garden she created. In 1988 Katherine Swift arrived at the Dower House at Morville to create a garden of her own. This beautifully written, utterly absorbing book is the history of the many people who have lived in the same Shropshire house, tending the same soil, passing down stories over the generations. Spanning thousands of years, The Morville Hours takes the form of a medieval Book of Hours.

It is a meditative journey through the seasons, but also a journey of self-exploration. It is a book about finding one's place in the world and putting down roots.

The Beauty Queen of Leenane, Martin McDonagh's first play, was nominated for six Tony Awards and won four of them, as well as the Laurence Olivier Award. His play The Pillowman, which garnered the 2004 Olivier Award, had its world premiere at the National Theatre in London in 2003. McDonagh earned an Academy Award for his short film Six Shooter in 2006. In Bruges won the BAFTA for best original screenplay in 2009. In Bruges, A Behanding in Spokane, and Seven Psychopaths are among his most recent works.
