Love is not easy, especially if you find the woman of your dreams and then lose her – as Philip Griffin and his son Stephen each discover in turn.

Stephen is just a boy when his mother and sister are killed in a car crash, and his father never recovers from the accident: he wasn’t involved but is consumed by grief, his only desire to be reunited with his wife. Before that happens, though, Philip wants to ensure the happiness of his son, Stephen – now a grown man.

‘As it is in Heaven, Niall Williams’ tale of love and tragedy, will leave you in tears’ Tatler

‘A bitter-sweet novel about passionate love giving way to commitment, grief to a sort of healing’ Irish Times

‘A tender and sober novel with a faith in romance that is absolute’ Daily Express

‘Delicious coincidence and tragedy, as extraordinary lives unravel and intertwine’ Guardian

Industry Reviews

A fatal car crash deprives Philip Griffin of his wife and daughter and leaves him alone with a son, Stephen. Philip longs for death that will reunite him with his beloved wife, Stephen longs for something that will set him free from the monotony of life as a schoolteacher. Then Gabriello, an Italian violinist, appears on the scene and sadness is swept away. The author of Four Letters of Love creates a lyrical affirmation of the power of romance and innocence in a harsh world. (Kirkus UK)
