Shortlisted for the Booker Prize, from the author of Brooklyn and Long Island.

Set in Ireland in the 1990s, Colm Tóibín's The Blackwater Lightship tells the story of the Devereux family, and reveals the intense connection between grandmother, mother and daughter.

Helen's beloved brother Declan is dying. Now, she must join her mother and grandmother in a crumbling old house by the sea, three generations calling an uneasy truce after years of strife, to be by his side. Together with Declan's friends, who know more about him than any family, they must all deal with the past and come to terms with each other.

'It is in his emotional choreography that Tóibín shows himself to be an exceptional writer' - Sunday Telegraph
