The Blackwater Lightship

Colm Tóibín

In Blackwater in the early 1990s, three women, Dora Devereux, her daughter Lily and her granddaughter Helen, have come together after years of strife and reached an uneasy truce. Helen's adored brother Declan is dying. Two friends join him and the women in a crumbling old house by the sea, where the six of them, from different generations and with different beliefs, must listen and come to terms with one another. Shortlisted for the 1999 Booker Prize, this is an extraordinary novel from one of Ireland's most gifted writers.
