Book review - A Thousand Moons by Sebastian Barry

From Nine To Noon, 10:44 am on 17 April 2020

Tilly Lloyd from Unity Books reviews A Thousand Moons by Sebastian Barry, published by Faber. Follow-up to the multi-award-winning Days Without End, this novel is on a par with that. Narrated by Winona, a young Lakota orphan adopted by former soldiers Thomas McNulty and John Cole in 1870s Tennessee, this powerful novel depicts violence and survival in the aftermath of the Civil War.
