Fiction
With acclaimed works like The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty,
Irish author Sebastian Barry has earned a reputation as
a "master storyteller" (The Wall Street Journal). In A Long
Long Way he has created an unforgettable portrait of the
horrors of war through the story of Willie Dunne, a young
man who leaves his native Dublin in 1914 to join the Allies
on the Western Front. Caught between the catastrophic
violence he encounters there and the growing political
tension at home over Irish independence, Willie finds
himself confronting unbearable choices regarding family,
patriotism, and the devotion he feels toward his regiment.
A deeply affecting portrayal of personal struggle and the
consequences of war, this is one of Barry’s most powerful
accomplishments.
