The bestselling and award-winning author of Brooklyn, Colm Tibn, returns with a stunning collection of stories';a book that's both a perfect introduction to Tibn and, for longtime fans, a bracing pleasure' (The Seattle Times).

Critics praised Brooklyn as a ';beautifully rendered portrait of Brooklyn and provincial Ireland in the 1950s.' In The Empty Family, Tibn has extended his imagination further, offering an incredible range of periods and characterspeople linked by love, loneliness, desire';the unvarying dilemmas of the human heart' ( The Observer, UK).

In the breathtaking long story ';The Street,' Tibn imagines a relationship between Pakistani workers in Barcelonaa taboo affair in a community ruled by obedience and silence. In ';Two Women,' an eminent and taciturn Irish set designer takes a job in her homeland and must confront emotions she has long repressed. ';Silence' is a brilliant historical set piece about Lady Gregory, who tells the writer Henry James a confessional story at a dinner party.

The Empty Family will further cement Tibn's status as ';his generation's most gifted writer of love's complicated, contradictory power' ( Los Angeles Times ).
