In this award-winning novel, an informer's body is found on the estate of a wealthy Irish family shortly after the First World War, and an appalling cycle of revenge is set in motion. Led by a zealous sergeant, the Black and Tans set fire to the family home, and only young Willie and his mother escape alive. Fatherless, Willie grows into manhood while his alcoholic mother's bitter resentment festers. And though he finds love, Willie is unable to leave the terrible injuries of the past behind.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst time in Penguin Classics\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinner of the Whitbread Novel of the Year Award\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143039624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.37lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.46h x 5.86w x 0.60d","brand":"William Trevor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43150240448693,"sku":"9780143039624","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_04b5538f-ce1e-42a8-9e0c-9f3215903193.jpg?v=1696344416","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/fools-of-fortune-9780143039624","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
