Colm Toibin - Nora Webster

In his seventh novel, Tóibín returns to Enniscorthy, the Irish village that was the point of departure for Eilis in Brooklyn; it’s twenty years later, the Troubles are starting up in the North and Nora, mother of four, has just become a widow. In his signature graceful and powerful prose, Tóibín follows Nora as she learns how to live fully again in the wake of her loss. (Scribner)
