Publisher's Synopsis
It's a cloudy Tuesday in October and the residents of Dockwood are going about their business as usual. In Elmsview Nursing Home, a kitchen porter dutifully prepares lunch for residents. Elsewhere, a council worker sweeps the fallen leaves from the pavements. Along Nettlefield Road, a paperboy is delivering his daily round. And in the trees, swallows gather noisily in preparation for their annual migration. In this bittersweet and contemplative work, Jon McNaught weaves together the everyday lives of three locals against the backdrop of autumnal transitions.
