Descripción Softcover. Condición: new. Product DescriptionFrom one of contemporary literatures bestselling, critically acclaimed, and beloved authors: a luminous novel (Jennifer Egan, The New York Times Book Review) about a fiercely compelling young widow navigating grief, fear, and longing, and finding her own voice-heartrendingly transcendant (The New York Times, Janet Maslin).Set in Wexford, Ireland, Colm Tibns magnificent seventh novel introduces the formidable, memorable, and deeply moving Nora Webster. Widowed at forty, with four children and not enough money, Nora has lost the love of her life, Maurice, the man who rescued her from the stifling world to which she was born. And now she fears she may be sucked back into it. Wounded, selfish, strong-willed, clinging to secrecy in a tiny community where everyone knows your business, Nora is drowning in her own sorrow and blind to the suffering of her young sons, who have lost their father. Yet she has moments of stunning insight and empathy, and when she begins to sing again, after decades, she finds solace, engagement, a haven-herself.Nora Webster may actually be a perfect work of fiction (Los Angeles Times), by a beautiful and daring writer (The New York Times Book Review) at the zenith of his career, able to sneak up on readers and capture their imaginations (USA TODAY). Miraculous.Tibn portrays Nora with tremendous sympathy and understanding (Ron Charles, The Washington Post).Review"Fascinating. Revelatory. More thoughtful than Emma Bovary and less self-destructive, in the end far and away a better parent than the doomed Anna Karenina for all the latters dramatic posturing, Nora Webster is easily as memorable as either-and far more believable. To say more would spoil a masterful- and unforgettable-novel." -- Betsy Burton - NPRThe Ireland of four decades ago is beautifully evoked Completely absorbing [and] remarkably heart-affecting. - Booklist (starred review)"A compelling portrait. [of] a brave woman learning how to find a meaningful life as she goes on alone." - Publishers WeeklyA high-wire act of an eighth novel Toibins radical restraint elevates what might have been a familiar tale of grief and survival into a realm of heightened inquiry. The result is a luminous, elliptical novel in which everyday life manages, in moments, to approach the mystical There is much about Nora Webster that we never know. And her very mystery is what makes her regeneration, when it comes, feel universal. - Jennifer Egan, The New York Times Book Review[Nora Webster] may actually be a perfect work of fiction There is no pyrotechny in the writing - just compassion and shrewd insight. Which is where Toibin's brilliance lies People call Toibin a beautiful writer because they don't know how otherwise to classify such a delicate talent, such empathic simplicity. Some mysteries can't be deciphered by criticism. Colm Toibin is not a beautiful writer, he's merely a great one. - Darin Strauss, The Los Angeles TimesCompellingan emotionally satisfying readpowerful. - The Associated PressToibins restraint, sly humor and gentle prose cadence echo those of another Irish master, William Trevor. So does his affection for his characters How Nora chooses to make her voice heard and how her children find ways to express their own pain provide Nora Websters plot and pleasurea so-called average life can make for a thrilling readToibin presents one womans life keenly observed and honored with compassion. With Enniscorthy, he also creates a town, constrained and forever behind the times though it is, that feels like the whole world. - The Miami Herald[A] quietly moving study of a complex character and her ambiguous feelings toward the web of family and neighbors surrounding her in the small town of Enniscorthy. All his books share precise, restrained prose, which can, in its simplicity, reach elegance. - Maya Muir, The Portland OregonianMiraculous a strikingly restraine.
