About it
Details. Condition: New. Format: Paperback. ISBN: 9780571333394. Publisher: Faber & Faber. Overview. A Thousand Moons is Sebastian Barry's lyrical sequel to his Costa Book of the Year-winning novel Days Without End. Told through the eyes of Winona, a young Lakota orphan raised by two former soldiers on a Tennessee farm after the American Civil War, this paperback brings a haunting story of memory, identity and survival to readers who love richly written literary and historical fiction. It stands alone as a rewarding read for fans of character-driven, emotionally resonant storytelling.. About the Book. Set in 1870s Tennessee during the uneasy years of Reconstruction, A Thousand Moons follows Winona Cole, adopted by former soldiers Thomas McNulty and John Cole after the Civil War left her without family. Educated and loved on the farm the two men work, Winona is nevertheless marked as an outsider in a society still riven by prejudice and violence. Employed by a sympathetic local lawyer, she begins carving out an independent life and a sense of purpose beyond the losses of her childhood. But the fragile calm of her unconventional family is shattered by a brutal act of violence, setting Winona on a determined and dangerous quest for truth and justice. Sebastian Barry writes with his characteristic lyrical precision, weaving legal drama, historical detail and deeply personal reflection into a narrative that never loses its intimate, first-person voice. Readers of Days Without End will recognise familiar characters, though A Thousand Moons stands entirely on its own as a moving exploration of dispossession, resilience and the enduring human need for love and belonging. This 320-page paperback is compact and easy to carry, ideal for commuting, travel, book club discussion, or simply curling up with a story that lingers long after the final page.. Award-winning author Sebastian Barry, twice winner of the Costa Book of the Year. Powerful, lyrical prose exploring identity, ju
