The Irish famine of the late 1840’s was the worst peacetime disaster in the history of modern Europe. Millions died and millions emigrated to the U.S. This is the story of two men, one historical and one fictional, whose paths cross repeatedly and whose experience illuminates a crucial time in the making of America. "A powerful, poignant debut novel." - Kirkus Reviews
