About this product

Product Information

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. It also charts Willie's coming of age, his leaving behind of his sweetheart Gretta, and the effect the war has on his relationship with his father, a member of the Dublin Military Police and fervent loyalist. Running throughout is the question of how such young men came to be fighting in a war, and how they struggled with the events that raged around them.

    The book was new as advertised and well packed. Thank you for that. It did arrive one day after the original delivery dates period advised, but an email from Ebay on the last delivery date informed me it would be delayed . Overall a positive experience.

  • Ireland and the Great War.

    Good read, especially the historical context of the Easter Rising with WW1. An area not often explored by English historians when writing about WW1. Very good read.

  • Very sad yet engaging read

    Had me captured from the start in his portrayal of the horrifying waste of life and living through First World War
