What Members Thought
The impetus for this story is the Irish potato famine which caused the poorest of the poor to leave Ireland. If you ever wondered what it might have been like to come to the New World in a sailing ship, this is your book.
A coming of age story set against the brutality of the Irish potato famine. Prose like poetry. Wonderful character development.
