Nearer God’s heart


Nearer God’s heart: The Morville Hours: The story of a garden, by Katherine Swift, is about the creation of a garden, but also about the natural forces that shaped it, and the author’s own self-exploration. It is based on a medieval Book of Hours, each chapter being named after one of the hours of the Divine Office. Above is the jacket illustration (Bloomsbury, £17.99 (£16.20); 978-0-7475-9258-7)
