Tóibín, Colm creator text Gurgaon Penguin Books 2015 monographic 311p. 21cm(pbk) Widowed in her forties, 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 drawn back into it. Wounded, 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 empathy and kindness, and when she begins to sing again, after decades, she finds solace, engagement, a haven-- herself. by Colm Tóibín Widows Fiction Mothers and sons Fiction Self-realization in women Fiction N 9780141041759 1516EN07 ENG-114931 dpl KKP/Ven DBAD/PUB 20170824100759.0
