'Thrilling and enchanting.' Guardian
'Richly poetic.' Sunday Times
That I had souls that loved me and hearts that watched over me was a truth self-evident to hold.
Winona is a young Lakota orphan adopted by ex-soldiers in the aftermath of the American Civil War. Employed by a lawyer in the nearby town of Paris, Tennessee, she tries to forge a life for herself beyond the violence and dispossession of her past. But when the fragile harmony of her new life is ruptured by a traumatic event, her quest for revenge takes her on a journey that is horrifying, thrilling and enchanting in equal measure.
Sebastian Barry was born in Dublin in 1955. The current Laureate for Irish Fiction, his novels have twice won the Costa Book of the Year award, the Independent Booksellers Award and the Walter Scott Prize. He had two consecutive novels shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, A Long Long Way (2005) and the top ten bestseller The Secret Scripture (2008), and has also won the Kerry Group Irish Fiction Prize, the Irish Book Awards Novel of the Year and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize. He lives in County Wicklow.
