As his mind sifts through his past, we are introduced to the loyal friend he once was, his loving wife, the city of Dublin, and the question of how this very ordinary man has become so lonely at the end of his life. Told in reverse, from Farley's penultimate day to decades before, Christine Dwyer Hickey's bestseller is a jarring look at a life up close. First published in 2011, The Cold Eye of Heaven shows Dwyer Hickey's lyrical prose at its best: rendering sorrow, joy, wisdom, and humor in equal measure. Acutely insightful, this is an eerily accurate portrait of what it's like to grow old.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><P>Christine Dwyer Hickey's tale of a very ordinary Dubliner, starting at the close of his life, is the most profound novel I have read for years. --The Guardian<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><P>Christine Dwyer Hickey is an award-winning novelist and short story writer.
