Description: A memoir about grief nature and what a small community in the Welsh valleys can teach us about life. A beautiful and poetic meditation on loss nature and what matters in life. - Nigel Warburton From the BAFT a award - winning writer of The New Yorker short film Heart Valley Kiran Sidhu never thought she could leave London but when her mother passes away she knows she has to walk out of her old life and leave her toxic family behind. She chooses fresh air an auditorium of silence and the purity of the natural world - and soon arrives in Cellan a small remote village nestled in the Welsh valleys. At first the barrenness and isolation is strange. But as the months wear on Kiran starts to connect with the close - knit community she finds there; her neighbour Sarah who shows her how to sledge when the winter snow arrives; Jane a 70 - year - old woman who lives at the top of a mountain with three dogs and four alpacas; and Wilf the farmer who eats the same supper every day and teaches Kiran that the cuckoo arrives in April and leaves in July. Tender philosophical and moving I Can Hear the Cuckoo is a story about redefining family about rebirth and renewal and respecting the rhythm and timing of the earth. It's a book about moving through grief and the people we find in the midst of our sadness - and what this small community in the Welsh countryside can teach us about life.
