«La solitaria pasión de Judith Hearne», considerada la obra más influyente del novelista irlandés Brian Moore, narra la historia de la autodestrucción de una mujer honesta pero débil en el Belfast gris de la posguerra. Judith Hearne es una mujer de cierta edad que no conoce el amor, y que poco a poco ha ido cayendo socialmente en desgracia. Es pobre, aunque respetable, y vive en casas de huéspedes. Tiene pocos amigos y aquellos de los que está más cerca solo la toleran por lástima. Sometida a los prejuicios y aprensiones de una educación temerosa de Dios y más preocupada por las apariencias que por la consecución de la felicidad, confinada en una ciudad triste y casi inmóvil, lo que poca gente sabe es que Judith tiene una vida secreta, marcada por el estigma de la botella. Brian Moore, astuto cronista del alma humana, fue incluido tras la publicación de esta novela, en 1955, en la nómina de los escritores fundamentales de la narrativa en lengua inglesa del siglo XX.
