What to expect
The downloadable, digital audiobook edition of Colm Tóibín's new novel, read by Fiona Shaw. It is the 1960s and Nora Webster is living with her two young sons in a small town on the east coast of Ireland. The love of her life, Maurice, has just died.
Nora must learn how to forge a new life for herself, how to give her sons a future as she tries to hold onto the past. And, as Nora returns to memories of the happiness of her early marriage something more painful begins to intrude: memories of her own mother and what brought about the terrifying distance between them.
Critics Review
-
With this elating and humane novel, Colm Tóibín has produced a masterwork
Sunday Times (on Brooklyn) -
A beautiful and daring work…it takes its power from the surprise of its language, its almost shocking characterization
New York Times (on Testament of Mary) -
A profoundly gifted world writer
