Traumitised at an early age, Enright is destined to constantly re-enact the roles of hunter and hunted. In closely interwoven storylines, he relives the time he spent at sea, in the trenches at the Somme, among the living dead in a British Columbian sanatorium, and on a Canadian Army Land Grant farm. But after returning to Ireland with his wife and baby son, will Enright finally learn to stop running?
Mark O'Sullivan's novel is as forceful as the character of Enright himself. The story hovers between the real and the imagined, between tenderness and violence, between myth and memory. Enright's voice haunts, revolts, amuses, and ultimately reveals the secret of survival - defiant tenacity.
