Widowed at forty, with four children and not enough money, Nora has lost the love of her life, Maurice, the man who rescued her from the stifling world to which she was born. And now she fears she may be sucked back into it. Wounded, selfish, strong-willed, clinging to secrecy in a tiny community where everyone knows your business, Nora is drowning in her own sorrow and blind to the suffering of her young sons, who have lost their father. Yet she has moments of stunning insight and empathy, and when she begins to sing again, after decades, she finds solace, engagement, a haven--herself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eNora Webster\u003c\/i\u003e \"may actually be a perfect work of fiction\" (\u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e), by a \"beautiful and daring\" writer (\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e) at the zenith of his career, able to \"sneak up on readers and capture their imaginations\" (\u003ci\u003eUSA TODAY\u003c\/i\u003e). \"Miraculous...T ib n portrays Nora with tremendous sympathy and understanding\" (Ron Charles, \u003ci\u003e The Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/02\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439170939\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/07\/2015 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Colm Toibin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36650943185052,"sku":"9781439170939","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_57c40158-bace-4ba7-92b0-ae56edbdd75d.jpg?v=1603876456","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/nora-webster-9781439170939","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
