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.

Sebastian Barry was born in Dublin in 1955. His play The Steward of Christendom (1995) won many awards, and he is the author of two highly acclaimed novels, The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty (1998) and Annie Dunne (2002), which was described by Colm Toibin as 'a masterpiece'.
