Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Praised as a "master storyteller" (The Wall Street Journal) and hailed for his "flawless use of language" (Boston Herald), Irish author and playwright Sebastian Barry has created a powerful new novel about divided loyalties and the realities of war. In 1914 Willie Dunne, barely eighteen years old, leaves behind his life in Dublin to fight the Germans on the Western Front. Encountering violence on a scale he could not have imagined, he is sustained only by letters from home and the camaraderie of the mud-covered Irish boys who fight and die by his side.

Available only in Basic 7.
