The second collection of "exquisite stories" (The Guardian) from the author of Small Things Like These, whose award-winning works of fiction have sold over two million copies worldwide
Winner of the prestigious Edge Hill Prize and the second story collection in Claire Keegan's bestselling body of work, Walk the Blue Fields was first published in 2007 to critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic. In "The Long and Painful Death," a writer awarded a stay to work in Henrich Böll's old cottage has her peace interrupted by an unwelcome intruder whose motive emerge as the night progresses. In the title story, a priest waiting to perform a marriage battles his memories of a lost love, an affair that made him question all to which he has dedicated his life.
A masterful portrait of a country wrestling with its past, Walk the Blue Fields is a breathtaking collection from one of the world's greatest fiction writers and a resounding articulation of all the yearnings of the human heart.
