Product DescriptionRun a Quick Search on "The Heather Blazing" by Colm Toibin to Browse Related Products:Browse more products related to "The Heather Blazing"Browse more products related to "Colm Toibin"Publisher's noteA brilliant new novel from the author of The South, winner of the Irish Times/Aer Lingus Award. In a story of stunning power, Toibin reconstucts the history of the relationships of an Irish judge--a completely legal creature who is just beginning to discover how painfully disconnected he is from other human beings. AnnotationTHE HEATHER BLAZING is a narrative of the life of Eamon Redmond, a reserved but highly respected Dublin judge whose judgements are often controversial--and often land him in trouble with his grown son and daughter, with whom his relationship has always been distant. When Redmond's wife Carmel has a stroke and becomes a semi-invalid, he reevaluates his life, including his connections with his family and--in particular--his feelings for his long-dead father, a determinedly republican teacher and supporter of the Fianna Fail party founded by Eamon de Valera (who makes a cameo appearance). Using flashbacks to Redmond's childhood alternating with episodes from the present, Toibin delineates a complex human being, and illuminates recent Irish history in the process.
