Nory's family is torn apart by the cruel English landlords and the potato blight, aka An Gorta Mor (the Great Hunger). Ms. Giff transports the readers into an Irish family, the Irish culture, and this important piece of Irish history. We were recently in Ireland with my extended family and could appreciate the scenes Ms. Giff created.
Superbly researched.
*Highly recommend.
