Colorful fiction on the Irish Potato Famine.

This book follows the lives of several families through the horrors and rare beauty of the 1840's-1850's Irish Potato Famine. It's the story of a young woman who grows up beyond and despite her idealistic expectations of love and marriage.While Mrs. Crowley hasn't written a book bashing England's horrific role in the famine, one is not left without a clear and concise education on the culpability of England's powers. Learning about the famine through family members who are the third and fourth generation Potato Famine survivors does not compare to the reality of this story.
