Review:
The most profound novel I have read for years... As I finished reading, I turned to the first page and began to read again. -- Stevie Davies * Guardian * Christine Dwyer Hickey's most achieved, taut and nuanced novel to date... Farley is a triumph. * Irish Independent * I simply didn't want it to reach its conclusion... Farley and the supporting characters in The Cold Eye of Heaven have moved into my head and I just don't have the heart to evict them. * Sunday Independent * This stunning novel has as its core the pulsing heart of love that drives the circulation of every being... Extraordinary * Independent on Sunday *

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Farley is an elderly Irishman, frail in body but sharp as a tack. Waking in the middle of the night, he finds himself lying paralysed on the cold bathroom floor and so his mind begins to move back into his past. Decade by decade, Farley unravels the warp and weft of his life, recalling loves, losses and betrayals with the darkly comic wit of a true Dubliner. For this is also Dublin's story, the city Farley has seen through poverty and prosperity, boom and bust - each the other's constant companion throughout his seventy-five years. Epic in scope, rich in detail, and shot through with black humour, The Cold Eye of Heaven is a bitter-sweet paean to Dublin and a unique meditation on the life of one of its citizens. Cold Eye of Heaven: the stunning new novel from Christine Dwyer Hickey, bestselling author of Last Train to Liguria, now in paperback.
