Midwinter Break

Bernard MacLaverty’s first novel for sixteen years is a tour-de-force from a master of the genre. Born in Belfast, Bernard MacLaverty is a novelist and short-story writer who has also written radio and television plays, libretti and screenplays, most notably adapting his own novels Cal and Lamb for film. His publications include the novel Grace Notes, which was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, and his Collected Stories. 'Midwinter Break is a work of extraordinary emotional precision and sympathy, about coming to terms - to an honest reckoning - with love and the loss of love, with memory and pain. Full of scenes that are rendered with exquisite accuracy and care, allowing the most detailed physical descriptions to be placed against the possibility of a rich spiritual life, this is a novel of great ambition by an artist at the height of his powers.' - Colm Toibin, author of Brooklyn 'As always in MacLaverty’s pages , everything is alive with absorbing actuality. Characterisation has total credibility. Dialogue is pitch perfect…. Seamus Heaney recorded Ulster’s tribal butchery in great poetry. MacLaverty does so in great fiction.' - Sunday Times 'a strong return for a Booker nominee' - The Times Книга «Midwinter Break» автора Бернард МакЛаверти оценена посетителями КнигоГид, и её читательский рейтинг составил 8.00 из 10.
