Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A sobering read. Famine also gives an interesting perspective on Irish history. It misses 5 stars only for the ending in which the means of escape from the horrors of their daily life for the 'hero' and 'heroine' of the story seemsed altoghether too easy and at odds with the pain and difficulty of the rest of the book. The ending was a little too neat and easy in a book portraying a reality that was anything but this. ( ) no reviews | add a review

Famine is the story of three generations of the Kilmartin family set in the period of the Great Famine of the 1840s. It is a masterly historical novel, rich in language, character, and plot -- a panoramic story of passion, tragedy, and resilience. No library descriptions found.
