Until, one winter, after more than a decade away, he finds himself back on the farm. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Connell records the hypnotic rhythm of the farming day--cleaning the barns, caring for the herd, tending to sickly lambs, helping the cows give birth. Alongside the routine events, there are the unforeseen moments when things go wrong: when a calf fails to thrive, when a sheep goes missing, when illness breaks out, when an argument between father and son erupts and things are said that cannot be unsaid. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThe Farmer's Son\u003c\/em\u003e is the story of a calving season, and the story of a man who emerges from depression to find hope in the place he least expected to find it. It is the story of Connell's life as a farmer, and of his relationship with the community of County Longford, with his faith, with the animals he tends, and, above all, with his father.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Ecco","offers":[{"title":"Farmer's Son: Calving Season on a Family Farm | John Connell | Hardcover | 9781328577993 | Used: Like New | Farm \u0026 Homestead 1691631","offer_id":48749488439448,"sku":"1691631","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/717fLlc8LCL.jpg?v=1773933043","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/farmers-son-calving-season-on-a-family-farm","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
