On frosty nights, as he sits by a flickering fire, Michael Harding withdraws into the stillness of winter and begins to reckon with age and death.

As stories emerge from the shadows, we meet a young boy whose arrival brings hope, but whose journey will know winter's path. November is a rainstorm, December a bleak twilight, but as January dawns and the ice thaws, the fragile light of love penetrates the dark, bringing beauty to the earth and making new beginnings possible.

Midwinter is a powerful and poignant exploration of a season of loss, and the hope that can follow even the darkest nights.

'A beguiling meditation on life and death' Irish Times

'Unbearably honest' Irish Independent

Snow falls within.
Blanketing the heart in peace.
Winter's dream takes hold.

This book is dedicated to everyone at Pieta House, a suicide prevention charity. This is a work of non-fiction apart from the character of Martin who is fictional but whose story reflects the heartache and loss so many families endure every year. ©2025 Michael Harding
