About this product
Product Information
A stunning new novel from the Man Booker shortlisted author of The Secret Scripture In this highly anticipated new novel, Irishman Jack McNulty is a "temporary gentleman"--an Irishman whose commission in the British army in WWII was never permanent. Sitting in his lodgings in Accra, Ghana, in 1957, he's writing the story of his life with desperate urgency. He cannot take one step further without examining all of the extraordinary events that he has seen. A lifetime of war and world travel--as a soldier in WWII, an engineer, a UN observer--has brought him to this point. But the memory that weighs heaviest on his heart is that of the beautiful Mai Kirwan and their tempestuous, heartbreaking marriage. Mai was once the great beauty of Sligo, a magnetic yet unstable woman who, after sharing a life with Jack, gradually slipped from his grasp. Award-winning author Sebastian Barry's The Temporary Gentleman is the sixth book in his cycle of separate yet interconnected novels that brilliantly reimagine characters from Barry's own family.

Reviews
Pensive, quietly lyrical novel by Irish writer Barry, the sixth in a series of books whose stories are separate yet connected...A beautifully written story of a love lost, and inevitably so., Expanding on characters and events in his preceding novels, Barry tells the story of Jack McNulty, a 'temporary gentleman' because his commission in the British Army during World War II wasn't made permanent...Like Barry's other characters, Jack McNulty is both noble and terribly flawed. Fans of Roddy Doyle's Last Roundup trilogy will appreciate this book's bold lyricism, unforgettable characters, and epic historicism., Fascinating and moving, The Temporary Gentleman shows Sebastian Barry to be one of our finest novelists--daring, accommodating, and humane., Much of Jack McNulty's life has been lost in the fog of alcoholism. What he does remember, though, he sets down in writing from his quarters in mid-1950s Ghana, reviewing with regret his path through a troubled marriage and a war...Although McNulty is not a man to be admired, the raw elegance of his storytelling has its own beauty. The Temporary Gentleman is an arresting account of self-deception and the power of will to pretend all is well, even as the bottom falls out., NarratorGerard Doyle's sonorous voice provides the perfect complement to SebastianBarry's story...Doyle's narration highlights both the peaks and valleys ofMcNulty's tumultuous life, making this a powerful listening experience., With this complex portrait of a man rooted in his hometown but drawn into a wider warring world, Barry again proves himself a prose artist and a skilled navigator of the rocky shoals of modern morality and Irish heritage.
