Description
The Temporary Gentleman is a novel by Sebastian Barry that explores the life of Jack McNulty, an Irishman who served in the British army during World War II. Now living in Ghana in 1957, Jack reflects on his extraordinary experiences and the memories that weigh heaviest on his heart.
At the centre of Jack's story is his tempestuous marriage to Mai Kirwan, a woman whose beauty and instability had a profound impact on his life. As Jack writes about his past, he grapples with the choices he made and the consequences that followed.
This novel is part of Barry's cycle of interconnected stories, which reimagine characters from his own family. A poignant and thought-provoking exploration of love, loss and identity, The Temporary Gentleman is a powerful work of fiction.
