"Tinkers" by Paul Harding unfolds the story of George Washington Crosby, a man on his deathbed, reflecting on his life and the memories of his father, Howard. In the quiet of his final days, surrounded by the ticking clocks he used to repair, George's mind wanders through the landscapes of his past, unraveling the fabric of his family's history. We dive into Howard's life as a tinker, a salesman of household items and a man grappling with epilepsy, which eventually leads him to a life of solitude in the wilderness. The novel is a lyrical exploration of the bonds between fathers and sons, and the passage of time that both separates and connects generations. Through Harding's exquisite prose, we experience the beauty and brutality of nature, the complexity of human emotions, and the simple yet profound moments that define a life.
