PRAISE FOR THE NEWER WORLD
Barry records a life between worlds, in tender, elegiac prose. This is the
novelist at his best: a masterly work of historical witness and moral reckoning.
ALEX PRESTON, OBSERVER
His work reminds us how much we need these rare gifts of the natural storyteller.
TESSA HADLEY
There's a beautiful looseness to the novel, almost a wildness, the mark of a true, natural storyteller. It's easily among his best works.
KEVIN BARRY
Another novel full of exquisite prose amid the horrors of war. As long as Sebastian Barry continues to write, I will be first in line to read his work. Beauty and devastation live side by side in his wonderful fiction.
