Galway Bay by Mary Pat Kelly
This
is a wonderful novel, well written, with strong characters. That it is based on
the author’s great, great grandmother only increases its appeal. It took an immense
amount of historical research to get all the facts straight. You can’t read
about the hungry and starving children, and the indifference of the landlords,
without wanting to get food to them 180 years too late. If you want to know why
the Irish still hold an animosity towards the English, this novel will tell
you. I am looking forward to the second and third books.
