{"product_id":"the-blackwater-lightship-a-novel","title":"The Blackwater Lightship: A Novel","description":"From the author of The Master and Brooklyn, Colm Tóibín weaves together the lives of three generations of estranged women as they reunite to witness and mourn the death of a brother, a son, and a grandson.\n\nIt is Ireland in the early 1990s. Helen, her mother, Lily, and her grandmother, Dora, have come together to tend to Helen's brother, Declan, who is dying of AIDS. With Declan's two friends, the six of them are forced to plumb the shoals of their own histories and to come to terms with each other.\n\nShortlisted for the Booker Prize, The Blackwater Lightship is a deeply resonant story about three generations of an estranged family reuniting to mourn an untimely death. In spare, luminous prose, Colm Tóibín explores the nature of love and the complex emotions inside a family at war with itself. Hailed as \"a genuine work of art\" (Chicago Tribune), this is a novel about the capacity of stories to heal the deepest wounds.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0743203313\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0743203313.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Toibin, Colm\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Pages are clean with no markings.
