{"product_id":"the-blackwater-lightship-9780743203319","title":"The Blackwater Lightship","description":"From the author of The Master and Brooklyn, Colm T?ib?n 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.It 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.​ Shortlisted 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 T?ib?n 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\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-664734\"\u003eColm Toibin\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.30w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780743203319\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0743203313\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC008000\"\u003eSagas\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC019000\"\u003eLiterary\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eColm T?ib?n is the author of eleven novels, including \u003ci\u003eLong Island\u003c\/i\u003e, an Oprah's Book Club Pick; \u003ci\u003eThe Magician\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Rathbones Folio Prize; \u003ci\u003eThe Master\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize; \u003ci\u003eBrooklyn\u003c\/i\u003e, winner of the Costa Book Award; and \u003ci\u003eNora Webster\u003c\/i\u003e; as well as two story collections and several books of criticism.
