I knew as I made my way home that there was no home. All the old things . . . were gone forever. Against this rapidly shifting landscape, Tennyson Bouguereau - freed man, devoted brother, nascent singer, conflicted soldier and wanted man - journeys to find meaning and belonging. From the relative safety of home in Tennessee with his sister Rosalee, he is offered the possibility of a whole new life in Nashville, until a surprising trip to Victorian England changes everything. Exquisitely rendered, and with a rich cast of characters,The Newer World is a lyrical, visceral novel about what it is to survive, and what might be lost along the way. 'A masterly work of historical witness and moral reckoning' - OBSERVER, Fiction to look out for in '26 'His work reminds us how much we need these rare gifts of the natural storyteller' - TESSA HADLEY 'There's a beautiful looseness to the novel, almost a wildness, the mark of a true, natural storyteller. It's easily among his best works' - KEVIN BARRY 'Barry records a life between worlds, in tender, elegiac prose. This is the novelist at his best: a masterly work of historical witness and moral reckoning' - ALEX PRESTON, Observer, 'Fiction to Watch in 2026' FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF OLD GOD'S TIME \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beaumaris Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42786155298896,"sku":"9780571378456","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9780571378456_1.jpg?v=1784399205","url":"https:\/\/beaumarisbooks.com.au\/products\/newer-world","provider":"Beaumaris Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
