Annie Dunne by Sebastian Barry

An old Irishwoman lives quietly on the margins of a rural community, wrestling with poverty, loneliness and the steady erosion of independence as she depends on distant relatives and small acts of work and kindness to survive; through intimate memories, sharp observations and a tender, wry voice she reflects on lost loves, family obligations and the slow changes in the landscape and society around her, creating a poignant portrait of aging, resilience and the human need for dignity and belonging.
