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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAward-winning author Sebastian Barry's \u003ci\u003eThe Temporary Gentleman\u003c\/i\u003e is the sixth book in his cycle of separate yet interconnected novels that brilliantly reimagine characters from Barry's own family.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49302076653872,"sku":"BD9248","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49302076686640,"sku":"ZE9248","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49302076719408,"sku":"ZM9248","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/9248-Square-cover.jpg?v=1775731122","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-9248","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
