Slow Time by the Orchard
About This Novel
When an anxious illustrator who "lives his life as he feeds" meets a retired botany lecturer who "lives his life as poetry"-- A heavy rain, a goldfish that fell from a building, and a jar of freshly brewed strawberry jam started a slow-time healing journey for two lonely souls. This is a story about "slowing down". About how to go from "rushing to deadline" to "waiting for the flowers to bloom", from "what you raise will die" to "a family of seven fish", from "takeout to continue your life" to "simmer jam for forty minutes on low heat". It's about how two scarred modern people use the oldest wisdom - plant a tree, raise a fish, love someone - to heal each other and jointly build a "leisure time island" to fight against urban anxiety. --Dedicated to all you who still long to slow down in a fast-paced world. Open this book, take a sip of the sweetness of handmade jam, and watch a goldfish swimming leisurely. Maybe you will find: life should be like this, gentle, simple, and with an aftertaste.
