Description
Brilliant storyteller Billy O’Callaghan brings a grand tale of family relationships, harsh historical circumstances, and the hard life in a poor and tested country in his new novel. Three characters, three destinies, and nearly a hundred years of Irish history. Jer bears scars on his soul and a few years after World War I, he is haunted by feverish visions from the trenches. Nancy struggles to get by during the great famine, searching for her place in the sun. Elderly Nellie, Jer's daughter, reflects on her family's story and the twentieth century in a cheap urban apartment. Lifelong is a novel about human honor and dignity, about a time of hunger and hardship, and also a story about what love in its various forms can do to a person. "An excellent and moving novel. O’Callaghan is one of our best writers," wrote John Banville.
