Mothers and Sons

Om boken

A stunning collection of nine stories that teases out the delicate and difficult strands woven between mothers and sons. Mothers and Sons is a sensitive meditation on the dramas surrounding this most elemental of relationships. Psychologically intricate and emotionally incisive, each story focuses on a moment in which an unspoken balance shifts; in which a mother or son do battle, or experience a sudden crisis, thus leaving their conception of who they are subtly or seriously altered. An acute, masterful and moving collection from Colm Tóibín. 'Beautifully captured moments of longing and loss' — The Guardian 'Truly remarkable' — Richard Ford
