By Giles Harvey| New York Review of Books Verified Because life has to be lived forwards but can only be understood backwards, as Kierkegaard says, we sometimes come to realize what we truly want from it—whom to marry, which vocation to pursue—after that knowledge is well past its use-by date. The Irish writer Colm Tóibín has made a specialty of such deferred recognitions. In Nora Webster (2014), perhaps his finest novel, the recently widowed heroine, a mother of four in 1960s Ireland, has lived a life of duty and self-sacrifice.
