"The quiet but relentless force of TÓibÃ�n's prose, its honed honesty and extraordinary shading of color and mood, animates his stories…There are breathtaking moments, episodes of glassing clarity and trueness to the deepest chords of emotional and spiritual life."-Vince Passaro, New York Newsday, "[A] stunning Irish novel, which seems to derive its clear and affecting style in part from the staunch personality of its protagonist...and in part from the chilly beauty of the south-east coast of Ireland."- The New Yorker, "There are...a handful of writers who manage to combine our time's awareness of the boot tracks families leave on their members' psyches with a direct and uncomplicated experience of those wounded lives.

Synopsis
Colm Tóibín's "lovely, understated" novel that "proceeds with stately grace" ( The Washington Post Book World ) about an uncompromising judge whose principles, when brought home to his own family, are tragic. Eamon Redmond is a judge in Ireland's high court, a completely legal creature who is just beginning to discover how painfully unconnected he is from other human beings. With effortless fluency, Colm Tóibín 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" ( USA Today )., Colm T ib n's second "lovely, understated" novel that "proceeds with stately grace" ( The Washington Post Book World ) about an uncompromising judge whose principles, when brought home to his own family, are tragic.
