The Heather Blazing is the 1992 novel by Irish writer Colm Tóibín. It was the writer's second novel and allowed him to become a full-time fiction writer. The intensity of the prose and the emotional tension under the colder eye with which the events are seen, provided him with a faithful readership both at home and abroad.[1] It won the 1993 Encore Award for a second novel.[2] The novel takes its title from a line from the song "Boolavogue", specifically "a rebel hand set the heather blazing".[3]
