A long long way / Sebastian Barry. by Barry, Sebastian, 1955- Penguin Books, 2006. Call #: FICTION BAR Subjects Young men -- Fiction.   World War, 1914-1918 -- Ireland -- Fiction.   Ireland -- History -- War of Independence, 1919-1921 -- Fiction.   Ireland -- History -- 1910-1921 -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780143035091 (trade pbk.) Description:  292 p. ; 22 cm. Summary:  "Willie Dunne, brother of Annie from Barry's previous novel Annie Dunne, joins the Royal Dublin Fusiliers at age seventeen because he is less than six feet tall. Six feet is the height requirement for becoming a policeman. Willie’s father is a policeman and is disappointed that his son cannot follow in his footsteps. Willie becomes a soldier instead. While many around him are willing to fight because of the promise of home rule for Ireland, such beliefs are still foggy in Willie’s young mind. Like so many young men, he wants to please his father and prove himself a man. One of the many truths revealed in this story is the way in which the relentless violence of war is fueled by such simple motivations."--Publisher's website. Genre:  Historical fiction.
