On Canaan's Side: Sebastian Barry

From the bestselling Costa Prize-winning author
of The Secret Scripture, On Canaan’s Side is another
heartbreaking novel spanning a lifetime. Narrated
by Lilly Bere, On Canaan’s Side opens as she mourns
the loss of her grandson, Bill. The story then goes
back to the moment she was forced to flee Sligo,
at the end of the First World War, and follows
her life through into the new world of America,
a world filled with both hope and danger.
At once epic and intimate, Lilly’s narrative unfurls as
she tries to make sense of the sorrows and troubles
of her life and of the people whose lives she has
touched. Spanning nearly seven decades, it
is a novel of memory, war, family-ties and
love, which once again displays Sebastian Barry’s
exquisite prose and gift for storytelling.
