About this title

Synopsis

Ireland in the 1840s, where the beleaguered population fell victim to massive famine following the spread of an uncontrollable potato blight. Against this harsh background of turmoil, starvation and disease, an English landowner and an Irish peasant struggle to keep alive not only themselves and those around them, but the love they feel for one another in a society and era that violently condemn it. By the author of The Milkman`s On His Way.
