From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Long Island

Beautifully read by the author, Colm Tóibín.


Miquel and his father are living an uneasy life together in his mother's house in the Pyrenees, the house she had been returning to on the day she died. A new bridge, connecting the two valleys, is almost complete, which will end the valley's isolation and create an easier route to smuggle contraband deep into the mountains. Where Miquel's father imagines opportunity, Miquel foresees disaster and an exposure to the outside world for which his father is desperately unprepared.

Colm Tóibín's exhilarating short novel contains vast inner and outer worlds within its pages. With meticulous precision and an unerring eye Tóibín captures lives caught between the past and the present, and the journey of a young man seeking connection, haunted by loss.

Kritikerstimmen

Tóibín is a master of the unsaid, of the spaces between words, of the long, slow textures of quiet lives
He has an almost uncanny ability to inhabit the interior lives of his characters with an absolute lack of sentimentality or judgment
What makes Tóibín one of our finest contemporary writers is his dual power as a fierce cultural critic and a novelist of immense, delicate intuition. He operates with a journalist’s eye for hard fact and a poet’s ear for the weight of a pause
A writer at the height of his considerable powers
