Cold Eye of Heaven Paperback / softback
by Christine Dwyer Hickey, Christine Dwyer Hickey
Part of the Irish Literature series
Paperback / softback
Description
Farley, a seventy-five year old man, lies on his bathroom floor, having just suffered a stroke.
As his mind sifts through his past, we are introduced to the loyal friend he once was, his loving wife, the city of Dublin, and the question of how this very ordinary man has become so lonely at the end of his life.
Told in reverse, from Farley's penultimate day to decades before, Christine Dwyer Hickey's bestseller is a jarring look at a life up close.
First published in 2011, The Cold Eye of Heaven shows Dwyer Hickey's lyrical prose at its best: rendering sorrow, joy, wisdom, and humor in equal measure.
Acutely insightful, this is an eerily accurate portrait of what it's like to grow old.
