About the Author
Tom Hayden, known and respected for his radical political activities during the 1960s, is of Irish descent. Now a California state senator, he lives in Los Angeles and visits Ireland frequently.
Review
Remarkable. A comprehensive, invaluable contribution to the Famine story by some of Ireland's best-known writers and scholars. Infused with a contemporary resonance. Mr. Hayden's selfless and estimable book deserves the widest possible audience. (Gabriel Byrne )
One of the most elegantly produced works yet on the problems of dealing with Famine.... The effect is like that of a dam breaking. (Michael D. Higgins, Former Irish Minister for Arts and Culture )
As with any great story, the elements that are repeated in the retelling, those pieces that are burnished by each new teller, lead to the deepest truth in history, in fiction, in everyday life....The best of these essays share the quality of being written by wakers from a dream. (Susan Salter Reynolds Los Angeles Times )
...history is not about power and triumph nearly so often as it is about suffering and vulnerability...we have to wonder again and again at the strength of the people who could survive the famine. (Mary Robinson, Former President of Ireland )
Restoring our memory of the Famine, by every means available to us, will position us to pursue the many other themes that make us what we are and inspire others to do likewise. Strengthening the ties between Ireland and Irish America, piecing together the fragments of the past that now lie on both sides of the Atlantic, can only be good for all of us. (Sean Kenny, Author of The Hungry Earth )
