Why read it?
1 author picked The Whereabouts of Eneas Mcnulty as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty is my favourite of all of Sebastian Barry's books. In tender prose, the novel tells the story of the life of a young Irish man from Sligo in Ireland, starting from World War one onwards. Eneas McNulty is caught up in the independence movement, a character on the wrong side of history, who is followed throughout his life by his old school friend who is trying to assassinate him for being on the wrong side. Written in third person and close point of view, the story is told in the most wonderful language.
