'It is impossible to read Tóibín without being moved, touched and finally changed' – Independent on Sunday
Colm Tóibín’s The Heather Blazing details the life of Eamon Redmond, a judge in Ireland’s high court, a man remote from his wife, his son and daughter and, at least outwardly, from his own childhood.
The life he has built for himself, between his work in Dublin and his family’s retreat by the sea at Cush, is distinguished by order and by achievement. When, like his beloved coastline, it begins to slip away, he is pulled sharply into the present – and finds himself revisiting his past.
'Superbly accomplished' – The Observer
Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.
Colm Tóibín was born in Ireland in 1955. He is the author of numerous novels, including The Master, Brooklyn and The Magician, and two collections of stories. He has been three times shortlisted for the Booker Prize. In 2021, he was awarded the David Cohen Prize for Literature. Tóibín was appointed the Laureate for Irish Fiction 2022–2024.
