In 1950, Katherine Proctor leaves Ireland for Barcelona, determined
to escape her family and become a painter. There she meets Miguel,
an anarchist veteran of the Spanish Civil War, and begins to build
a life with him. But Katherine cannot escape her past, as Michael
Graves, a fellow Irish emigre in Spain, forces her to reexamine all
her relationships: to her lover, her art, and the homeland she only
thought she knew.
The South is a novel of classic themes--of art and exile, and of
the seemingly irreconcilable yearnings for love and freedom--to
which Colm Toibin brings a new, passionate sensitivity.
