Nora Webster: A Novel

Nora Webster: A Novel

From one of contemporary literatureâ€™s bestselling, critically acclaimed, and beloved authors: a â€œluminousâ€ novel (Jennifer Egan, The New York Times Book Review) about a fiercely compelling young widow navigating grief, fear, and longing, and finding her own voiceâ€”â€œheartrendingly transcendantâ€ (The New York Times, Janet Maslin).

Set in Wexford, Ireland, Colm TÃ³ibÃnâ€™s 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 havenâ€”herself.

Nora Webster â€œmay actually be a perfect work of fictionâ€ (Los Angeles Times), by a â€œbeautiful and daringâ€ writer (The New York Times Book Review) at the zenith of his career, able to â€œsneak up on readers and capture their imaginationsâ€ (USA TODAY). â€œMiraculous...TÃ³ibÃn portrays Nora with tremendous sympathy and understandingâ€ (Ron Charles, The Washington Post).
