Now she has delivered her next, much-anticipated book, Walk the Blue Fields, an unforgettable array of quietly wrenching stories about despair and desire in the timeless world of modern-day Ireland. In the never-before-published story ?The Long and Painful Death,? a writer awarded a stay to work in Heinrich B?ll?s old cottage has her peace interrupted by an unwelcome intruder, whose ulterior motives only emerge as the night progresses. In the title story, a priest waits at the altar to perform a marriage and, during the ceremony and the festivities that follow, battles his memories of a love affair with the bride that led him to question all to which he has dedicated his life; later that night, he finds an unlikely answer in the magical healing powers of a seer.A masterful portrait of a country wrestling with its past and of individuals eking out their futures, Walk the Blue Fields is a breathtaking collection from one of Ireland?s greatest talents, and a resounding articulation of all the yearnings of the human heart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51865942589728,"sku":"NEW0802170498","price":14.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61R5DE2OrRL.jpg?v=1781670256","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/walk-the-blue-fields-stories-0802170498","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
