Description
This novel tells the story of a woman whose capacity to love is immense, and whose compassion for those who have wronged her is remarkable. Spanning nearly seven decades, from the Great Depression through World War II to the Vietnam War, it is a heartbreaking tale of one woman's journey.
Through her eyes, we experience the epic sweep of history, as well as the intimate details of a life marked by love, loss and resilience. Sebastian Barry's prose brings this remarkable story to life, creating a powerful portrait of a woman who defies convention and inspires those around her.
