One of the most vivid and realised characters of recent fiction, Willie Dunne is the innocent hero of Sebastian Barry's highly acclaimed novel. Leaving Dublin to fight for the Allied cause as a member of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers, he finds himself caught between the war playing out on foreign fields and that festering at home, waiting to erupt with the Easter Rising.

Profoundly moving, intimate and epic, A Long Long Way charts and evokes a terrible coming of age, one too often written out of history.

Review:
Open this novel anywhere and you'll find a scene that is capable of moving you to tears. Not that it is a miserable book: there are also scenes to make you laugh out loud, and some - plenty - to make you gasp with admiration at the sheer beauty of the writing. (Arminta Wallace Irish Times (Dublin) 2006-04-15)

An immensely moving and finely wrought work of fiction. (Sunday Business Post (Dublin) 2006-03-26)

His powers of description are an unquestionable plus. (Tom Boncza-Tomaszewski The Independent On Sunday 2006-04-02)

An exceptional and devastating novel of ruined landscape, ruined bodies, ruined assumptions and ruined dreams, through which Thomas Aquinas's injunction to 'know one's own mind' tolls with bitter futility. (Jim Evans Daily Telegraph 2006-04-08)

A war novel of poweful intensity, with strong echoes of Wilfred Owen's poetry. (Sunday Telegraph 2006-04-09)

A powerful novel... (John Brunton Nottingham Evening Post 2006-04-08)
From the Publisher:
Longlisted for The Man Booker Prize 2005
