Heather Blazing [Paperback] Toibin, Colm

Colm Tóibín's luminous second novel follows Eamon Redmond, an Irish High Court judge, as he spends a summer at his family's coastal cottage in Wexford. Through shifting timelines, we trace his journey from idealistic youth to measured middle age, watching as personal and political histories intertwine. Tóibín writes with characteristic restraint and precision, capturing the weight of memory, the complexity of family loyalties, and the quiet ways we reckon with who we've become. It's an intimate portrait of an interior life—restrained, intelligent, and deeply moving. Perfect for readers who savour literary fiction that rewards patience and contemplation.
