Praise for Sebastian Barry and Old God's Time : "Few can write like Sebastian Barry, there is a real thrill as each sentence unfolds. Old God's Time is a portrait of a good man facing the failings of his past. It is wonderfully alive because Barry is so attuned to the human condition, to the poetry in ordinary lives. Full of love and grief and heartache, this is an unforgettable novel from one of our finest writers." --Douglas Stuart, author of Shuggie Bain "One of the best writers in the English language . . . [Barry's] soul-wrenching narratives and incantatory prose . . . are powerful canvases of the human spirit." -- The Washington Post "Barry's novels give us lives, not plots . . . Every one of his novels is luminous. Not one of them sounds like anyone else." --Robert Gottlieb, The New York Review of Books "The gorgeous writing and unreliable narration make it hard to put down this rewarding take on love and grief." -- Publishers Weekly "Nobody writes like, nobody takes risks like, nobody pushes the language, and the heart, and the two together, quite like Sebastian Barry does." --Ali Smith, author of Autumn and Companion Piece "Sebastian Barry's handling of voice and cadence is masterly. His fictional universe is filled with life, quiet truth and exquisite intimacy; it is also fully alert to the power and irony of history." --Colm Tóibín "[Barry writes] in language of surpassing beauty . . . It is like a song, with all the pulse of the Irish language, a song sung liltingly and plaintively from the top of Ben Bulben into the airy night." -- The New York Times "Barry's lens is so cohesive, so gracefully rendered, that his words have the stony allure of the Irish poets and the lyrical pull of an epic storyteller." -- The Boston Globe, Praise for Sebastian Barry and Old God's Time : "Few can write like Sebastian Barry, there is a real thrill as each sentence unfolds. Old God's Time is a portrait of a good man facing the failings of his past. It is wonderfully alive because Barry is so attuned to the human condition, to the poetry in ordinary lives. Full of love and grief and heartache, this is an unforgettable novel from one of our finest writers." --Douglas Stuart, author of Shuggie Bain "There are moments in Old God's Time that will take your breath away . . . [Barry] has crafted a meditative, mournful masterpiece, with the pace of a whodunnit." -- Sunday Times "Rare indeed are those novels worth cherishing and keeping close. Sebastian Barry's Old God's Time is one of them." -- Daily Telegraph "Admirers of Claire Keegan and Niall Williams will appreciate the Irish humor that masks deep sorrow [in Old God's Time ]. This novel's words are well chosen, the sentences dazzle, and they all come together in a beautifully told, piercingly sad story." -- Library Journal (starred review) "Barry masterfully explores the 'deep deep chaos' of Tom's perforated soul with poetry, poignancy, and a splash of indignant rage. The classic crime-story chestnut--a mothballed cop yanked back into action--becomes a parable of grief and theological anguish, a contemporary Irish answer to the book of Job." -- Booklist "The gorgeous writing and unreliable narration make it hard to put down this rewarding take on love and grief." -- Publishers Weekly "Barry's novels give us lives, not plots . . . Every one of his novels is luminous. Not one of them sounds like anyone else." --Robert Gottlieb, The New York Review of Books "One of the best writers in the English language . . .

Reading his novels is like braving Irish weather: You're chilled and drenched and dazzled and baked in buffeting succession . . . lyricism and drama jostle in nearly all [Barry's] sentences . . . paragraphs unspool like spells, dreamy incantations . . . You should be reading Sebastian Barry. Ireland's fiction laureate has a special understanding of the human heart." --Adam Begley, The Atlantic "Few can write like Sebastian Barry, there is a real thrill as each sentence unfolds. Old God's Time is a portrait of a good man facing the failings of his past. It is wonderfully alive because Barry is so attuned to the human condition, to the poetry in ordinary lives.

Synopsis
LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE Named a Best Book of 2023 by the New Yorker , Washington Post , NPR, and Kirkus Reviews "You should be reading Sebastian Barry. [He] has a special understanding of the human heart." -- T he Atlantic "A prose stylist of near-miraculous skill. . . Barry reaches deep into the messenger bag of mystery fiction and turns the whole business inside out . . . marvelous." -- The Washington Post "An unforgettable novel from one of our finest writers." --Douglas Stuart, author of Shuggie Bain From the five-time Booker Prize nominee and 2018-2021 Laureate for Irish Fiction, a virtuosic, profound novel exploring love, memory, grief, and long-buried secrets Recently retired policeman Tom Kettle is settling into the quiet of his new home, a lean-to annexed to a Victorian castle overlooking the Irish Sea. For months he has barely seen a soul, catching only glimpses of his eccentric landlord and a nervous young mother who has moved in next door. Occasionally, fond memories return of his family: his beloved wife June and their two children, Winnie and Joe. But when two former colleagues turn up at his door with questions about a decades-old case, one which Tom never quite came to terms with, he finds himself pulled into the darkest currents of his past. A beautiful, haunting novel in which nothing is quite as it seems, Old God's Time is about what we live through, what we live with, and what may survive of us.
