By Sebastian Barry, 1998
Speaks
eloquently on the ramifications of the politics of unrest on individual lives.
A happy Sligo childhood in the early 1900’s gives way to an Ireland wracked by
violence and conflict. Unable to find work in the depressed times after World
War I, Eneas joins the R.I.C., a decision that alters the course of his life.
Branded a traitor by Irish nationalists and pursued by IRA hitmen, Eneas is
forced to flee.
