During Harding’s childhood in Wenham, he 'knocked about in the woods' developing an appreciation for nature, and he apprenticed under his grandfather fixing clocks --- both elements used in Tinkers, his award-winning debut novel.
Publishers Weekly reviewed Tinkers as “[An] outstanding debut...This is an especially gorgeous example of novelistic craftsmanship.” And the Library Journal called it “[A] beautifully written study of father-son relationships and the nature of time.”
