Days Without End: A Novel

COSTA BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD WINNER

LONGLISTED FOR THE 2017 MAN BOOKER PRIZE

"A true leftfield wonder:Â Days Without EndÂ is a violent, superbly lyrical western offering a sweeping vision of America in the making."â€”Kazuo Ishiguro, Booker Prize winning author ofÂ The Remains of the DayÂ andÂ The Buried Giant

From the two-time Man Booker Prize finalist Sebastian Barry, â€œa master storytellerâ€ (Wall Street Journal), comes a powerful new novel of duty and family set against the American Indian and Civil Wars

Thomas McNulty, aged barely seventeen and having fled the Great Famine in Ireland, signs up for the U.S. Army in the 1850s. With his brother in arms, John Cole, Thomas goes on to fight in the Indian Warsâ€”against the Sioux and the Yurokâ€”and, ultimately, the Civil War. Orphans of terrible hardships themselves, the men 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 Barryâ€™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.
