The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne is an unflinching and deeply sympathetic portrait of a woman destroyed by self and circumstance. First published in 1955, it marked Brian Moore as a major figure in English literature (he would go on to be short-listed three times for the Booker Prize) and established him as an astute chronicler of the human soul.

Judith Hearne is an unmarried woman of a certain age who has come down in society. She has few skills and is full of the prejudices and pieties of her genteel Belfast upbringing. But Judith has a secret life. And she is just one heartbreak away from revealing it to the world.

Judgment Epithetical Books The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne

Judith Hearne, a Catholic middle-aged spinster, moves into yet another bed-sit in Belfast. A socially isolated woman of modest means, she teaches piano to a handful of students to pass the day. Her only social activity is tea with the O'Neill family, who secretly dread her weekly visits. After finishing the wonderful Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine which also deals with similar themes albeit on a much more humorous level I wanted to revisit Judith Herne as I had enjoyed it so much first

The shoe eyes staring at Judith Hearne throughout the novel, accusing, laughing along, leering, laughing at. Finally indifferent, like all, nearly all she meets, particularly men. A masterful piece of writing, cleverly and so economically done. Some parts are from different povs which gets you through the plot in an efficient way, and gives sidelights and other views on the protagonist. The last few chapters when the character goes from address to address in her hired car is almost insanely

Beginning with a sigh of regret and ending with a sob of resignation, Brian Moore has created a character-driven novel of grief, sadness, and utter loneliness set in the shabby and bedraggled streets of Belfast during the 1950's. In spite of a dismal landscape, a series of blemished characters, and a profound aura of failure, this is a book of extraordinary beauty written in seamless prose. It is a work that is so cinematic in description that one need not know that the 1955 novel was

If we don't have our delusions how can we live? This is well written heartbreaking masterpiece of a book.

Brian Moore, a Northern Irish and Canadian author, died in 1999. His works that are based upon the land of his birth are poignant and evocative of the lives of common Irish people, and he is especially skillful at understanding the lives of marginalized women.In this novel, told by a third person omniscient narrator, Judith Hearne, an unmarried woman, orphaned young and raised by aunt now deceased, has just moved into shabby lodgings. She is apparently impecunious and a devout Roman Catholic.
