Story
Ned West dreams of sailing across the river on a boat of his very own. To Ned, a boat means freedom–the fresh open water, squid-rich reefs, fires on private beaches–a far cry from life on Limberlost, the family farm, where his father worries and grieves for Ned's older brothers. They're away fighting in a ruthless and distant war, becoming men on the battlefield, while Ned–too young to enlist–roams the land in search of rabbits to shoot, selling their pelts to fund his secret boat ambitions. But as the seasons pass and Ned grows up, real life gets in the way.

Story
Rare-book dealer Ashlyn Greer’s affinity for books extends beyond the intoxicating scent of old paper, ink, and leather. She can feel the echoes of the books’ previous owners—an emotional fingerprint only she can read. When Ashlyn discovers a pair of beautifully bound volumes that appear to have never been published, her gift quickly becomes an obsession. Not only is each inscribed with a startling incrimination, but the authors, Hemi and Belle, tell conflicting sides of a tragic romance.

Story
Prodigal Summer weaves together three stories of human love within a larger tapestry of lives in southern Appalachia. At the heart of these intertwined narratives is a den of coyotes that have recently migrated into the region. Deanna Wolfe, a reclusive wildlife biologist, watches them from an isolated mountain cabin where she is caught off-guard by Eddie Bondo, a young hunter who comes to invade her most private spaces and her solitary life.

Story
Percival Everett's The Trees is a must-listen that opens with a series of brutal murders in the rural town of Money, Mississippi. When a pair of detectives from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation arrive, they meet expected resistance from the local sheriff, his deputy, the coroner, and a string of racist White townsfolk. The murders present a puzzle, for at each crime scene there is a second dead body: that of a man who resembles Emmett Till.

Publisher's Summary
Having signed up for the US Army in the 1850s, aged barely 17, Thomas McNulty and his brother-in-arms, John Cole, go on to fight in the Indian wars and ultimately the Civil War. Orphans of terrible hardships themselves, despite the horrors they both see and are complicit in, they find these days to be vivid.
Both an intensely poignant story of two men and the lives they are dealt and a fresh look at some of the most fateful years in America's past.

Mesmerising narration
I didn’t want this book to end. It was beautifully crafted. The sensitivity, and kindness contrasted with the brutality kept me anchored to the story.

Wish this book wouldn't end!!
The story is extraordinary & quite haunting. Set in the Civil War but very relevant to today's world. The characters of Thomas McNulty, john Cole & Winona stay in your head. This is a great story & the performance by Aidan Kelly is brilliant! He is a very gifted reader. I'm definitely going to listen to his other books.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
I wish I had the gift of writing and the art of narration to express how deeply human, how utterly beautiful the characters, how real they are and just how close they come to the experience of love, loss, friendship, war, society and more, this book comes.
I wish it had not ended

The story is deeply moving though confronting in parts. The author’s use of language is brilliant and poetic and evocative. Thoroughly recommend this audiobook.

Riveting
Could not turn this off. The harsh lives imposed on the characters is offset by the tender love between the boyhood friends, John and Thomas. Indian/soldier conflicts, civil war, famine and hardship are overcome time and again by love and true friendship. A great book.

How to make the bleak beautiful.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Especially the language and beauty of the words. I've not been all that interested in the civil war, and thought I'd read enough grief on the massacres of Indians. But Barry wrote such a compelling tale of honesty, and commraderie and love. I had no choice but to hear it all. The last paragraph had me holding tightly to my device and begging for a good end. To not know which way it would go right up to the last page was just one last enjoyment of this truly magnificent tale.

Builds well, great story
Wonderful narration and story.
My first experience of Barry’s writing and will be seeking out more.
I wasn’t sure about the story for the first 1/3 but persevered and so glad I did.

galloping story beautiful prose
What made the experience of listening to Days Without End the most enjoyable?
The narrator captured the character of the hero with authentic style. I was drawn into both the historical background to the story, and the beautifully written descriptions of the social and natural world surrounding our hero and his lover. What a storty! It has unpredictable twists and turns and suspense and horror. What a great movie it would make!
What did you like best about this story?
It was lyrical and astounding. At times I had to pause and rewind to hear that description all over again. Gorgeous and humorous and horrific.
Which character – as performed by Aidan Kelly – was your favourite?
All the characters were owned by Aidan Kelly...he gave us a fine performance
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
with all the time in the world I would have sat and listened to this story all day.
Any additional comments?
I have recommended this to many, and they have all loved it. If you want the drama and horror and filth of Deadwood, with the poetic power of Blake, and the social commentary and comedy of Fry then this is for you.
