The South begins with Katherine Proctor's arrival in Barcelona in 1950. Drawn by her longing to be an artist,  she has left her family behind in Ireland. In Spain, she meets Miguel, an anarchist veteran of the Civil War and together they embark on a new life. The past catches up with them. and Katherine is forced to question her relationship to her lover, to her painting, and to the other man she meets in Spain, Michael Graves, through whom she discovers an Ireland she never knew. In a prose that is both lyrical and direct,  Colm  T?ib?n  convinces his readers that Katherine will reconcile her freedom and her need  to paint. To classical themes, he brings  a new, passionate sensitivity.","brand":"Toibin, Colm","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":47668415791443,"sku":"9781852421700","price":11.41,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":46960227778899,"sku":"XG81852421700","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/toibin-colm-colm-toibin-the-south-2001-paperback-54426502791507.jpg?v=1728069249"},{"product_id":"mothers-and-sons","title":"Colm Toibin: Mothers and Sons [2008] paperback","description":"","brand":"Toibin, Colm","offers":[{"title":"Good","offer_id":46992525787475,"sku":"XG81416534662","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/toibin-colm-mothers-and-sons-xg81416534662-51928923275603.jpg?v=1692727529"},{"product_id":"new-ways-to-kill-your-mother-writers-and-their-families","title":"Colm Toibin: New Ways to Kill Your Mother [2012] hardback","description":"","brand":"Toibin, Colm","offers":[{"title":"Like New","offer_id":47008289456467,"sku":"XE81451668551","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/toibin-colm-new-ways-to-kill-your-mother-writers-and-their-families-xe81451668551-51979406278995.jpg?v=1693157542"},{"product_id":"brooklyn-3","title":"Colm Toibin: Brooklyn [2010] paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eIt is Ireland in the early 1950s and for Eilis Lacey, as for so many young Irish girls, opportunities are scarce.

In each case, Toibin shows how their relationship with either a mother or a son, or their relationship to their own role as mother or son, reveals something unique and important about them. The stories feature Ireland or Irish narrators, but they are also truly universal. In \"Famous Blue Raincoat\", unwelcome memories are stirred when a mother, once a singer in an Irish folk-rock band of some popular renown in the 60s, finds that her son has been listening to their old records - songs she hoped never to hear again. In \"Water\", a son buries his mother and goes out to a drug-fuelled rave on a remote beach outside Dublin. In the course of this one night, his grief and desire for raw feeling combine with exquisite and devastating intensity. At once beautifully playful, psychologically intricate, emotionally incisive, finely-wrought and fearless these stories tease out the delicate and difficult strands which are woven between mothers and sons.\u003cbr\u003eSometimes shocking and always powerful, this masterful new collection confirms Toibin as great prose stylist of our time. Praise for \"The Master\" includes: 'An audacious, profound, and wonderfully intelligent book' - Hermione Lee, \"Guardian\".
