Farming has been in John Connell's family for generations, but he never intended to follow in his father's footsteps. Until, one winter, after more than a decade away, he finds himself back on the farm. 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. The Farmer's Son 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. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Connell, John,|d1986- 650 0 Farm life|zIreland|vBiography. 650 0 Cattle|xParturition|zIreland|vAnecdotes. 650 0 Cattle|xBreeding|zIreland|vAnecdotes. 650 0 Calves|zIreland|vAnecdotes. 700 1 Smyth, Alan. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 12348900?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ rcb_9781684574063_180.jpeg
