About the Book

Loose photographs you can shuffle about. You can pick them up and put them down again in any order you like. Photo albums are for happy families. Children, grown-up, pass them onto their children. When you are thirty-one years old, and the soaring curve of your carefully planned future suddenly freezes into stillness against the sky, photo albums are the first thing to go.
A year of plantings and cullings; a year of paradox and of waiting; a year in which everything, and nothing, seems to happen. Pomegranate Season is alive with the pleasures of the everyday — good food, swimming, reading, friendship, family life, the natural world — whilst never being far away from the working through of a grief so fundamental ‘the sun simply left the sky’. Combining personal reminiscence, detailed observation, meditation and lyrical description, Carolyn Polizzotto’s book is both moving and enlightening.
