Williams, Niall As It Is In Heaven
Warner Books Inc 1999 0446525480 / 9780446525480 First Edition Hard Cover Near-Fine Fine
Near-new condition. NO remainder mark or price clippings. Stated First Edition. ONLY flaw is that the very-first page has been removed (most likely blank) - else we would have rated this book as FINE. NO writing or marks inside book. 310 pages. Tight spine - Bright pages. Stephen Griffin is a shy and lonely schoolteacher in the West of Ireland, and his father Philip is a tailor whose wife and daughter died tragically in a car crash fifteen years ago. While Stephen yearns for love and an escape from the monotony of the classroom, his father's only desire is to be reunited with his family in heaven. The appearance of Gabriella Castoldi, a spellbinding musician, turns Stephen's fairy tales into reality. Now both men have a purpose: Stephen's to secure Gabriella's love and Philip's to help him in his task by making the best suit of his career. Stephen's journey to love and happiness is the greatest and most courageous of his life, as he desperately follows Gabriella to Venice and back again to the West of Ireland.. "As it is in Heaven is a life-affirming, sparkling tale of love and strength in the face of human tragedy. Filled with the coincidences and harsh vicissitudes of true life, it confirms Niall Williams as one of the outstanding storytellers of our day.

Williams, Niall; Breen, Christine When Summer's in the Meadow: Our Life in Clare
New York, New York, U.S.A. Soho Pr Inc 1989 0939149230 / 9780939149230 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Near-Fine
Near-new copy - Stated First Edition, First Printing. NO remainder marks or price clippings - Tight spine - Bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 237 pages. - Decorative illustrations throughout. - Annotation "A thoughtful, tender self-portrait of a couple passionately in live with a country and with each other."--Booklist. From the Publisher This book continues Niall and Christine's account of their life on the farm in Ireland and the desolating discovery that they couldn't have children. From The Critics Publishers Weekly In 1985, this Irish-American couple moved from the hectic world of New York book publishing to a small farm in Ireland, attempting to recapture the simpler life of their ancestors. In O Come Ye Back to Ireland, they chronicled their first year. Here they continue the account of their lives as novice farmers in County Clare, describing their successes and failures, the crops and animals they learn to nurture, and the caring neighbors who are always ready to help and instruct. Most poignantly, they tell of their bitter disappointment at learning that they cannot have a child of their own, and of the difficult decision to begin the adoption process. At the heart of the book is the story of a year of waitingwaiting to be approved by the Irish Adoption Board, waiting for a baby, waiting for the baby to be legally theirs. When Deirdre is finally their own and the farm begins to thrive, their contentment is complete. This is the unassuming tale of two people who return to the land and succeed. (Mar.) Library Journal The authors made their debut with O Come Ye Back to Ireland ( LJ 10/15/87), a quaint account of their first year in Ireland after moving from the Big Apple. This sequel is equally successful. It focuses on the couple's attempt to adopt a child. Though they recount various incidents--the shock of a return trip to New York, the scare of a major storm hitting western Ireland--the pending adoption overrides all other concerns. Still, they go on with their pastoral lives: farming, tending livestock, the sharing of a community spirit not found in New York City. Breen and Williams have used a unique format in both books. The text is primarily the product of Williams, while the narrative is interspersed with entries from Breen's diary. Another charming account; recommended for most libraries.-- Boyd Childress, Auburn Univ . Lib . , Ala.
