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 haven--herself. Nora Webster \"may actually be a perfect work of fiction\" (Los Angeles Times), by a \"beautiful and daring\" writer (The New York Times Book Review) at the zenith of his career, able to \"sneak up on readers and capture their imaginations\" (USA TODAY). \"Miraculous...Tóibín portrays Nora with tremendous sympathy and understanding\" (Ron Charles, The Washington Post).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eColm Tóibín is the author of eleven novels, including \u003ci\u003eLong Island\u003c\/i\u003e, an Oprah's Book Club Pick; \u003ci\u003eThe Magician\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Rathbones Folio Prize; \u003ci\u003eThe Master\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e Book Prize; \u003ci\u003eBrooklyn\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Costa Book Award; and \u003ci\u003eNora Webster, \u003c\/i\u003e winner of the Hawthornden Prize, as well as three story collections and several books of criticism.
