Publisher's Summary
The downloadable, digital audiobook edition of Colm Tóibín's new novel, read by Fiona Shaw.
It is the 1960s and Nora Webster is living with her two young sons in a small town on the east coast of Ireland. The love of her life, Maurice, has just died. Nora must learn how to forge a new life for herself, how to give her sons a future as she tries to hold onto the past. And, as Nora returns to memories of the happiness of her early marriage something more painful begins to intrude: memories of her own mother and what brought about the terrifying distance between them.

Enjoyable Irish tale
I enjoyed this step back in time story set back in about the early 1960's from the sound of it. They used gramophones, not everyone had s phone on at home. The story was centred around the early death of Nora's husband and it seemed to me people did her favours because they respected the dead husband, and she lived in his shadow not in her own right. The story was a bit slow but eventually she seemed to develop confidence and strength in herself.

Beautiful story of lost and recovery
A masterful writer - there is a restraint and a simplicity that is rare and powerful.
Fiona Shaw is my favourite all time narrator. I wish every Irish story were read by her.

A woman lost and found
What did you like most about Nora Webster?
This novel deals with the helplessness that many women feel with the loss of a partner. I enjoyed the main character's honesty.
