Finally Friday and you read The News from Dublin title of this blog post. Did you think I was off traveling again? Fooled you. This is a book of short stories by Colm Toibin. It is a lovely journey - nine short stories set in Ireland, Spain, and America. His work covers the complexities of family, longing, and love. (cover blurb)
Toibin writes with ease - complex dynamics, haunting pull of the past, and the quiet revelations that define our lives. Whether navigating the aftermath of war, forbidden love, the longings of a Catalan girl in Argentina, or the quiet struggles of mundane life, all are rendered with illuminating empathy and insight. (cover blurb)
I enjoyed dipping in and out of this book and peering into others' lives. Very well written and rich tales told.
