First published by Faber and Faber in 2002[2] it is currently under reprint from Penguin Books.[3] Set in rural Ireland in the late 1950s the novel recounts the life of Annie, who having been made homeless after the death of her sister is forced to move to a farm in County Wicklow. SynopsisThe protagonist Annie, who was the central character in Barry`s play The Steward of Christendom[4][4] is seen at first living with her sickly sister and caring for her brother-in-law. After the death of her sister the brother-in-law remarries, making Annie homeless.[6] She moves to live with her cousin Sarah in a remote farm. When the pair are in their sixties, Annie's nephew asks her to care for his two children, a girl and a boy, as he leaves for England in 1960 to search for work.[5] The book describes the events of the summer as Annie delights in playing the role of a mother, but also feels threatened by the prospect of her cousin marrying a local farmhand, thus leaving her homeless once again. ReceptionThe novel has received mixed reviews, Eamonn Sweeney writing in The Guardian compared the book to the Samuel Beckett play Waiting for Godot saying "Waiting for Godot has been described as a play in which nothing happens, twice. Annie Dunne is a novel in which nothing happens many times."[6] Emily Gordon writing in the New York Times called it "a fine novel" and that the prose was "close to poetry".[7] Tony Mastrogiorgio for the San Francisco Chronicle wrote the book was a "superb new novel" although says there "was there is a brief flickering of regret at first impressions" he says "that brief doubt is replaced by what can only be described as wonder." And describes Annie as "one of the most memorable women in Irish fiction"[8] References1. ^Mahony p171 2. ^{{cite web|last=News Desk |first=BWW |title=Act II Playhouse Presents 1st US Production of The Pride of Parnell Street |url=http://pennsylvania.broadwayworld.com/article/Act_II_Playhouse_Presents_1st_US_Production_of_The_Pride_of_Parnell_Street_20110216 |publisher=Broadway World |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120401034053/http://pennsylvania.broadwayworld.com/article/Act_II_Playhouse_Presents_1st_US_Production_of_The_Pride_of_Parnell_Street_20110216 |archivedate=April 1, 2012 }} 3. ^Sebastian ISBN 4. ^Pierce p1201 5. ^Stade p42 6. ^1 {{cite news|last=Sweeney|first=Eamonn|title=Busted flush?|url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2002/jun/29/featuresreviews.guardianreview20|newspaper=The Guardian|date=29 June 2002}} 7. ^{{cite news|last=Gordon|first=Emily|title=Dances With Hens|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C06E1D6123EF936A2575AC0A9649C8B63|newspaper=New York Times|date=September 15, 2002}} 8. ^1 {{cite news|last=Mastrogiorgio|first=Tony|title=Sebastian Barry pulls new gems from familiar Irish ground|url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/chronicle/archive/2002/08/25/RV136537.DTL|newspaper=San Francisco Chronicle|date=August 25, 2002}} Bibliography
