About the Book

From Sebastian Barry, a two-time finalist for the Man Booker Prize, comes a powerful and unforgettable novel chronicling a young Irish immigrant's army years in the Indian wars and the American Civil War. Thomas McNulty, having fled the Great Famine in Ireland and now barely seventeen years old, signs up for the US Army in the 1850s and with his brother in arms, John Cole, goes to fight in the Indian Wars--against the Sioux and the Yurok--and, ultimately, in the Civil War. Orphans of terrible hardships themselves, they find these days to be vivid and alive, despite the horrors they see and are complicit in. Moving from the plains of Wyoming to Tennessee, Sebastian Barry's latest work is a masterpiece of atmosphere and language. An intensely poignant story of two men and the makeshift family they create with a young Sioux girl, Winona, Days without End is a fresh and haunting portrait of the most fateful years in American history and is a novel never to be forgotten.

Review :
"A beautiful, savage, tender, searing work of art. Sentence after perfect sentence it grips and does not let go." -- "Donal Ryan, author of The Spinning Heart" "A great American novel which happens to have been written by an Irishman." -- "Times Literary Supplement (London)" "A sweeping vision of America in the making, the most fascinating line-by-line first person narration I've come across in years." -- "Kazuo Ishiguro, Booker Prize-winning author" "A tour de force of style and atmosphere...a timeless work of historical fiction." -- "Booklist (starred review)" "A work of staggering openness...Barry conjures a world in miniature, inward, quiet, sacred." -- "The Guardian (London)" "Barry is the most humane of writers...beauty is mined to its last redemptive glint...A great novel." -- "Irish Times" "Barry...offers a meditation on the nature of what it means to be an American, and his conclusions are both complex and fearless. A beautifully realized historical novel." -- "Library Journal (starred review)" "If an audiobook that is gorgeously written, tells a heart-thumping story, and is performed with flawless taste and authority is a cause for celebration, chill the champagne. Aiden Kelly gives us Thomas McNulty, a young refugee from Sligo...[in] a supple and powerful performance by Kelly, whose Thomas is somehow both pragmatic and full of wonder. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award." -- "AudioFile" "Lively, richly detailed...A contribution not just to Irish literature in English, but also the literature of the American West." -- "Kirkus Reviews" "Narrator Aidan Kelly's voice is lilting and poetic, suited to an enthusiastic storyteller with a knack for seeing the humor in almost any situation. His rendering of Barry's beautifully expressive language draws listeners in with excellent pacing." -- "Library Journal (audio review)" "Remarkable...Life-affirming in the truest and best ways." -- "Daily Mail (London)" "Written in a gorgeous style that blends Barry's characteristic eloquence with the straight-talk of early America." -- "Financial Times (London)"
