A Long Long Way by Sebastian Barry

5.0

5 stars for narration - the Irish lilt and inflections would not come through if I had read this book instead of listened. While Willie is away in Flanders, fighting for the King, Ireland is moving toward turmoil as the Home Rule debate/fight starts up. Similar to other WWI narratives, the young soldier realizes after a few rounds that he cannot go home; his home, and country, have changed while he's been in the trenches. His family and his home are now the war.
