Just finished reading this book. Eneas McNulty is a member of the R.I.C, a peeler, during the war of independence. He witnesses his Sgt., Sgt Doyle, murdered. or perhaps assassinated by the fellas in long coats. And he is told himself, to leave his native Sligo, indeed to leave Ireland for he is an enemy of the people. And he must leave or face death. And he becomes a wanderer of the world, an outcast and an exile. He joins the British Army to fight in WW2. Does he return to Sligo?. Do the fellas in long coats forgive him his error in joining the RIC? Does he ever see his family again? Well you must read the book for it is a beautifully told story, a novel yes, but it captures so well the terrible bitterness of it all.
