A couple, Bell and Sigh, move into a remote house in the Irish countryside with their dogs. Both solitary with misanthropic tendencies, they leave the conventional lives stretched out before them to build another--one embedded in ritual, and away from the friends and family from whom they've drifted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey arrive at their new home on a clear January day and look up to appraise the view. A mountain gently and unspectacularly ascends from the Atlantic, \"as if it had accumulated stature over centuries. As if, over centuries, it had steadily flattened itself upwards.\" They make a promise to climb the mountain, but--over the course of the next seven years--it remains unclimbed. We move through the seasons with Bell and Sigh as they come to understand more about the small world around them, and as their interest in the wider world recedes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSeven Steeples \u003c\/em\u003eis a beautiful and profound meditation on the nature of love and the resilience of nature.
