Longlisted for the Booker Prize, a mesmerizing new novel from the award-winning author of Old God's Time A first-person narrative of Lilly Bere’s life, On Canaan’s Side opens as the eighty-five-year-old Irish émigré mourns the loss of her grandson, Bill. Lilly, the daughter of a Dublin policeman, revisits her eventful past, going back to the moment she was forced to flee Ireland at the end of the First World War. She continues her tale in America, where—far from her family—she first tastes the sweetness of love and the bitterness of betrayal. Spanning nearly seven decades, Sebastian Barry’s extraordinary fifth novel explores memory, war, family ties, love, and loss, distilling the complexity and beauty of life into his haunting prose.

Book Description
Webster Groves, a suburb on the outskirts of St. Louis, Missouri seemed like a great place to live in the 1960s. Awash in postcard-perfect homes and tree-lined streets, the residents must be happy, right? But thats not the case for Bobby, who first tries running away from home at age five, only to realize that he has no choice but to endure brutal beatings from his father and mother. Even then, he knows that his parents are psychopaths and that his only hope for a normal life is to escape. Its not until Bobby is in his mid-thirties, shopping for the best gun to commit suicide that he realizes that he has problems, and they dont stop at the tumor growing in his groin or his recent divorce. They go straight back to his childhood. Join Bobby as he deals with problems shared by many baby boomers and children of suburbia. If hes strong, or just crazy enough, he may just be able to get past the darkest memories from Webster Groves.

Book Description
This book chronicles the narrative of five years that alter a man, and when those five years are spent fighting the Boers in the bush, the changes are huge. So when Jamie Parson returned home with captain's pips and the Victoria Cross, he wasn't the same boy he used to be. However, his parents and Mary, his sweetheart, wished him well. Jamie couldn't, and he momentarily ended his relationship with Mary. Happiness is enigmatic, unreal like the Boers, and Jamie finds moral battle to be as rigorous as military service. William Somerset Maugham was a dramatist, novelist, and short story writer from England. He was one of the most popular writers of his day and was rumored to be the highest-paid writer in the 1930s.
