Signed

On Canaan’s Side

by Sebastian Barry

A signed first U.S. edition, first printing of On Canaan’s Side by Sebastian Barry, published by Viking in 2011. This hardcover comes with its original dust jacket and has been flat signed by Barry on the title page without a visible inscription or personalization. The complete number line confirms the first printing, and a “Signed by Author” sticker is affixed to the front of the jacket.

Barry’s literary novel follows elderly Irish émigré Lilly Bere as grief prompts her to revisit a life spanning nearly seven decades. Her memories carry the story from post-First World War Ireland to America, exploring exile, love, betrayal, family, war and the enduring force of memory. The novel won the 2012 Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction and was longlisted for the 2011 Man Booker Prize.

The book and dust jacket are in Very Good condition overall, with light visible shelf and edge wear. The photographed title, copyright and author-biography pages appear clean and free of visible annotations. The signed-copy sticker remains attached to the dust jacket.

Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description and show the actual book, signature, edition details and condition.
