Where the Flowers Bloomed

In this sequel to Curing Time, Thomas has returned to look for the daffodils that used to bloom in Walt and Daisy’s yard every spring, as they sat underneath the big oak trees sipping cold water just drawn from the well. The day of Thomas’ return was a blustery April day in 1990. T.S. Eliot’s tortured, cruelest month-the one that could not make up its mind, offering the hopes of gentle days, yet delivering mostly broken promises.
