Willie Dunne, a young Dubliner, enlists in the Royal Dublin Fusiliers during World War I. On the Western Front he experiences the horror of the trenches, camaraderie with his comrades and disillusionment with the conflict, while the Easter Rising in Ireland awakens in him divided loyalties and the loss of innocence.
The novel is part of the Dunne Family series; it was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2005 and won the Kerry Group Irish Fiction Award in 2006.
Suitable for readers of historical fiction and war narrative, and for book clubs interested in World War I.
