2.5 Stars Sebastian Barry is my favourite Irish author and this is my seventh novel by him. Annie Dunne is his second novel and for me his weakest link in the chain of novels. The prose which he is renowned for is not present in this book nor is his characters well developed compared to books...
Plotless but charming. As always, Barry's language has the music. "And so our peculiar and no doubt dark-hearted planet runs ever further from the sun, the string of days is tightening, the hours of daylight grow shorter, the summer is closing its shutters of gold and green for another year."
