After signing up for the US army in the 1850s, aged barely seventeen, Thomas McNulty and his brother-in-arms, John Cole, go on to fight in the Indian wars and, ultimately, the Civil War. Having fled terrible hardships they find these days to be vivid and filled with wonder, despite the horrors they both see and are complicit in. Their lives are further enriched and imperilled when a young Indian girl crosses their path, and the possibility of lasting happiness emerges, if only they can survive. Moving from the plains of the West to Tennessee, Sebastian Barry's latest work is a masterpiece of atmosphere and language. Both an intensely poignant story of two men and the lives they are dealt, and a fresh look at some of the most fateful years in America's past, Days Without End is a novel never to be forgotten.

Otroligt bra! Svält och elände, krig och grymheter, kärlek och vänskap. Med en lysande enkelhet i språket tar Barry oss med på en resa genom USA:s födelse. Irländsk immigration, indiankrig och inbördeskrig varvas med trofast kärlek och vänskap och en gränsöverskridande könstillhörighet. På bara 245 sidor! En stor bedrift.
