The Art of Reading Book Club with Colm Tóibín | Episode 30 The Coast Road by Alan Murrin

“Set in 1994, The Coast Road tells the story of two women- Izzy and Colette. Colette has left her husband and sons for a married man in Dublin. When she returns to her home in County Donegal, her husband, Shaun, a successful businessman, denies her access to her children. ‘The last great book I read,’ the actress Gillian Anderson has said. ‘It will no doubt be a bestseller.'"

Colm Toibin does a masterful job of interviewing Paul Murrin about his very engaging new novel The Coast Road. He skillfully encourages Murrin to build the curiosity of the viewers/listeners without revealing any plot spoilers. I have just enjoyed reading Toibin’s novel “Long Island” as well as Murrin’s. The two novels are very well written and I look forward to the next novel from each author.
