Klappentext

'It is impossible to read Tóibín without being moved, touched and finally changed' - Independent on Sunday

Colm Tóibín's The Heather Blazing details the life of Eamon Redmond, a judge in Ireland's high court, a man remote from his wife, his son and daughter and, at least outwardly, from his own childhood.

The life he has built for himself, between his work in Dublin and his family's retreat by the sea at Cush, is distinguished by order and by achievement. When, like his beloved coastline, it begins to slip away, he is pulled sharply into the present - and finds himself revisiting his past.

**'Superbly accomplished' - The Observer

Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.**

Zusammenfassung
The Heather Blazing is a wonderful character study of a man, his childhood, family, and community.
