Annie Dunne

Annie Dunne and her cousin Sarah live and work on a small farm in a remote and beautiful part of Wicklow in late 1950s Ireland. All about them the old green roads are being tarred, cars are being purchased, a way of life is about to disappear. Like two old rooks, they hold to their hill in Kelsha, cherishing everything.

Annie Dunne by Sebastian Barry - set in Wicklow, Ireland, in 1950 - is a poignant and exquisitely-told story of innocence, loss and reconciliation.

Annie Dunne and her cousin Sarah live and work on a small farm in a remote and beautiful part of Wicklow in late 1950s Ireland. All about them the old green roads are being tarred, cars are being purchased, and a way of life is about to disappear.

When Annie's nephew and his wife are set to go to London to find work, their two small children, a little boy and his older sister, are brought down to spend the summer with their grand-aunt. A summer of adventure, pain, delight, and ultimately epiphany unfolds.

This is a poignant and exquisitely told story of innocence, loss, and reconciliation.
