Description
Told in the voice of an older Thomas McNulty looking back on a life shaped by survival, disguise, and the shifting demands of power, this novel follows two boys drawn into the American West’s harsh economies and brutal hierarchies. As they move from being “girls” in a saloon to soldiers in the American Indian Wars—and later into the Civil War—their story becomes a stark lens on how violence is normalized, commanded, and rationalized. Sebastian Barry’s lyrical, compassionate style brings vivid immediacy to battle and its aftermath while probing themes of identity, complicity, and the moral cost of empire. With its unflinching attention to historical atrocity and the human capacity to endure, the book offers an epic yet intimate reckoning with what gets remembered—and what is deliberately obscured.
