With effortless fluency, Colm T?ib?n reconstructs the history of Eamon's relationships--with his father, his first \"girl,\" his wife, and the children who barely know him--and he writes about Eamon's affection for the Irish coast with such painterly skill that the land itself becomes a character. The result is a novel of stunning power, \"seductive and absorbing\" (\u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eColm Tóibín is the author of eleven novels, including \u003ci\u003eLong Island\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Magician\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Rathbones Folio Prize; \u003ci\u003eThe Master\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize; \u003ci\u003eBrooklyn\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Costa Book Award; \u003ci\u003eThe Testament of Mary\u003c\/i\u003e; and\u003ci\u003e Nora Webster\u003c\/i\u003e; as well as two story collections and several books of criticism.
