The theme of this book which is particularly suited to our times of religious indifference and frenetic activity, recalls the purpose of all labor: to serve God and to aid in the transformation of the world in Christ. In the book, Dom Chautard urges a return to a spirit of work that is Christ-centered and Christ-inspired; he suggests that even those caught up in busy lives of trial and distraction and struggle must allow themselves time for meditation, prayer, and the sacramental life if their work is to be truly fruitful.

On the eve of Granny Hazel's burial in the back garden, a stranger in his time machine visits five-year-old Edward with an odd request. Set against a backdrop of rural isolation, 'Half Sick of Shadows' is a tale of childhood wonder, familial dysfunction, poetry, theoretical physics and how men of vivid imagination get their ideas. A dark, dazzling, tragi-comic tale of childhood wonder, time-travelling poets and theoretical physics - joint winner of the inaugural Terry Pratchett Prize.
