Time and the Tree

By RÓISÍN SORAHAN 

A multi-award-winning philosophical drama that unfolds over the course of four seasons, set in a fairy-tale forest.

Darkly funny and deceptively simple, Time and the Tree offers a unique perspective on the challenges contemporary life presents. It considers the passage of time and the quest for happiness, as an unlikely cast grapple with choices and grope towards self-knowledge in a world where compassion is interwoven with menace. Lyrical, and ultimately hopeful, it has the hallmark of a modern-day classic.

Time and the Tree was awarded the Readers’ Favorite Gold Medal for Inspirational Fiction; the 2025 Eric Hoffer da Vinci Eye Book Award; the Next Generation Indie Book Award for Inspirational Fiction; and was named a 2025 Nautilus Book Awards Gold Winner.
