About this title

Synopsis

Hunger exposes the raw cost of poverty in a city that won’t look away. Follow a mother’s struggle to feed her children as hope and hardship collide.

This stark, compassionate novel follows a family living through famine-like hardship in Dublin. The narrative centers on a mother who bears the weight of hunger, rent, and daily fear, while her husband searches for work across sea and land. The story captures the ways people cope with loss, the quiet dignity of endurance, and the moments when help arrives in imperfect forms.

• Experience a vivid portrait of a city in crisis, where survival depends on small acts of courage and stubborn hope.
• Meet a mother who moves between worry and resolve, doing what she must to protect her children.
• See how work, poverty, and social aid shape choices and relationships in a time of stress.
• Observe the tension between despair and the possibility of mercy, mercy that comes in imperfect ways.

Ideal for readers of gritty literary realism who want to witness ordinary lives tested by extraordinary hardship.
