Thursday 15 June, 18:00 The Secret Garden €15

Dalkey native Sebastian Barry is on fire. The only novelist to have won the coveted Costa best novel award twice, he will be talking about Days Without End with BBC Radio 4’s Andrea Catherwood. Days Without End is a short book that packs in so much. From Irish emigration to gay identity and the making of America, it is sweeping, lyrical and miraculous in scope. Don’t miss Sebastian’s homecoming on our opening night!
