520 She points the lens of the camera. The artist turns his
head slightly. The light catches his brow and his silver-
white hair. She snaps. He is lit like a Vermeer. Ireland.
County Wexford, 1951. A father and son go swimming in the
sea. The waves crash. The wind rises. Only one comes back-
Colin, aged six. His mother, Eileen, runs to seek help,
but this is a tragedy that will haunt them forever. Colin
won't speak a word. He is mute and struggling to cope. But
Eileen can see he has a talent for painting. She shows him
his father's artwork and gives him a print of a Paul Henry
landscape, and slowly, with her encouragement, he begins
to follow his dream. Years later on Inishbofin island off
the west coast of Ireland, out walking with his dog on the
sand, Colin meets Laura, a young woman on holiday, and a
tentative friendship starts to develop. Gradually his past
comes to life in a story filled with love and frustration,
loss and betrayal, but above all with the passion he has
held through his life for the light in the sea and the sky
and his search for that distant, elusive shore where the
sky sweeps down to the water. One man. The sea. One
painting. "Trials and tragedies can spur artists to great
heights, but they can also undermine everything they've
worked for. Such is the weighty conundrum behind Eoin
Lane's Beyond the Horizon, about six decades of an
artist's life on the breathtakingly beautiful shores of
Ireland…Lane's spare but precise prose sings…As Colin's
quest leads him from Ireland to the United States, Italy,
and back again to Ireland for a poignant conclusion, Lane
spins a thoughtful tale of artistic integrity and
redemption." "A haunting and heartfelt novel, Beyond the
Horizon is an utterly transporting tale of love, loss, and
artistic passion. Eoin Lane's debut heralds the arrival of
a striking new talent." "A stunning read! Moving.
Couldn't put it down. The author being a painter as well
as a writer makes for a real tour de force." "I was
transported rapidly into the world of Colin Larkin to
embark on a journey of tragedy, creativity, love, and loss
in an emotion-filled story. Lane has a gift for poetic
visual storytelling that reels you in and helps you
combine images with text to heighten the experience and
ultimately connect the reader to all the themes and
threads throughout." "Eoin Lane's Beyond the Horizon is a
book for anyone who loves Ireland, loves the sea, and
loves art-particularly, the painter's dangerous romance,
or passionate duel, with canvas and paint. Lane's deep
understanding of this process, both its tragedies and its
triumphs, animates every page, every word." "Eoin Lane
has crafted an intensely visual novel, capturing a play of
light and shadow, and the substance of a life lived on the
seam between brightness and grief." "Eoin Lane uses words
like brush strokes as he tells Colin's story, describing
in a painterly way how storm clouds gather on his horizon,
buffeting him and those around him. Driven by his
creativity he learns cope with loss, love, and friendship,
seeking shafts of sun to light his canvas." "Eoin Lane's
Beyond the Horizon creates a portrait of the inner-life of
a man as vivid and striking as any Irish landscape. With
graceful, assured prose Lane crafts a moving mediation on
trauma, loss, and the redemptive power of art." "Having
known Eoin back when we both started out as painters many
years ago, I found Beyond the Horizon interesting to have
such a formative experience seen through his eyes. A
moving, sensitive first novel that deals with love, loss,
and the journey of an Irish artist across the topography
of an evolving cultural and personal landscape." "Eoin
Lane's dual talents as both artist and author are brought
together with stunning effect in his novel, Beyond the
Horizon. Language and image are artfully combined in this
portrayal of the mind and heart of an
