his novel's setting was the Great Famine in Ireland. It tells the story of 3 families: a physician's family (middle class who survived), a poorer family who all died, and a poor family who was evicted by their landlord but given steamship tickets to America. This was a good story and well written. I especially liked the three perspectives. This book covered the time period of 1847-1854. 337 pages (
