Description
An unforgettable story about loss and new love from Colm Tóibín, the bestselling author of Brooklyn and Long Island. 'The most striking example of Tóibín's emotional control . . . [An] eloquent expression of the bond between a mother and a son' - The Guardian One snowy morning, after arguing with her husband, Miquel's mother walks out from their home high up in the Pyrenees and does not return. With his younger brother stationed far away on military service and his father cast out by the people of the town, Miquel and his father are left to fend for themselves. Together they will be forced to battle the elements, and their resentment of each other, through the long winter. Miquel's desperate searching for his mother is only interrupted when Manolo, an orphaned servant boy from the next village, arrives to help out in the house. As Miquel is forced to confront the reality of his mother's absence, Manolo, with his silences and longing gaze, offers the promise of new love, and another kind of life. 'A Long Winter evokes loss, loneliness, guilt and survival in a few masterly strokes' - Independent
