A long winter [sound recording] / Colm Tóibín.
"Miquel comes home to his family in the Catalan Pyrenees when he completes his military service. His younger brother, Jordi, will begin his service a week after Miquel's return. Alone with his parents, Miquel notices their mother's increasingly erratic behavior. As she becomes more unstable, her husband resorts to drastic measures. Unable to abide his betrayal and her own grief, she walks off into the mountains in the direction of the village where she was born. A blizzard sets in and the search for her is futile. No one will find her until the spring thaw arrives. An intimate story of loss, grief and longing, "A Long Winter" desribes an extraordinary bond between a mother and son and a haunting portrait of a family in crisis. Tóibín's powers of imagination and transfixing emotional insight are on full display."-- Provided by publisher.
