Nora Webster : roman av Colm Tóibín

Lågmäld men känslostark berättelse om en sörjande familj på Irland. Bygger delvis på Toibins egen uppväxt och moderns/familjens arbete att komma ut ur sorgen sedan maken/fadern dött i cancer. Skildrar också den katolska irländska familjens starka band till religionen och dess traditioner.

Mästaren : [roman] av Colm Tóibín

Det är en känslosam berättelse om författaren Henry James under 5 år i slutet av 1800 talet. Toibin berättar om olika händelser under dessa fem år som både påverkade James starkt men också beskriver hur livet för författaren och människan James gestaltade sig. Antydan om hans homosexualitet. Avsaknaden av sexuella förbindelser. Ensamheten och kulturlivet och den personlighet berättas finstämt och magnifikt.

The Empty Family av Colm Tóibín

Nio noveller om kärlek och längtan. Colm Tóibín skriver så känsligt och närgånget om människor av olika slag. Älskar hans språk och ordval. Hans berättelser finns kvar länge efter att jag läst dem.
