Changes

|summary=A quietly affecting look at how grief can affect a family, and how one woman learns to move on following the death of her husband. Moving and tender, Colm Toibin has created a strong character in Nora, and it all makes for a deeply satisfying read

}}

Ireland - the late 1960's. After a short spell of illness, Maurice has died. Nora, his widow, is left alone with four children, and struggles to put her life back together. As time goes on, she begins work again, makes new friends, rediscovers her love for music, and watches the children grow.

If you enjoy ''Nora Webster'', I'd certainly recommend [[Brooklyn by Colm Toibin|Brooklyn]]. Another strong, wonderfully drawn heroine in a book of that has a quiet yet moving power. And another master of capturing human emotion and psychology is Patrick Gale. I'd recommend any and everything by him, but his upcoming [[A Place Called Winter by Patrick Gale]] is a perfect example of that talent.
