A Long Long Way

Author(s): Sebastian Barry

SECONDHAND BOOKS | Literary Fiction

Shortlisted for the 2005 Man Booker Prize. Told in Sebastian Barry's characteristically beautiful prose, A Long Long Way evokes the camaraderie and humour of Willie and his regiment, the Royal Dublin Fusiliers, but also the cruelty and sadness of war, and the divided loyalties that many Irish soldiers felt. Tracing their experiences through the course of the war, the narrative brilliantly explores and dramatises the events of the Easter Rising within Ireland, and how such a seminal political moment came to affect those boys off fighting for the King of England on foreign fields - the paralysing doubts and divisions it caused them. First published 2005.

Faber and Faber, 2005. A trade paperback copy in near fine condition.
