Heartbreaking and eye opening
As an Australian of Irish descent (particularly from the famine times) I knew some of the history of what happened in that era but this book had me in tears at times and proud of the grit and will to live through what I see an attempted genocide of the people of Eire.
Beautifully and evocatively written.
