Ireland, 1847 In the kitchen of the Big House, among the pots and
pans and mess, Nell is working as a scullery maid. Once she loved
school and books and dreaming. But there’s not much choice of
work when the land you live on grows food that rots in the earth.
Now she is scrubbing, peeling, washing, sweeping for Sir John
Wicken, the man who owns her home, her family’s land, their
crops, everything. His dogs are always well fed, even as famine
sets in. Upstairs in the Big House, where Nell is forbidden to
enter, is Johnny Browning, newly arrived from England: the young
nephew who will one day inherit it all. And as hunger and disease
run rampant all around them, a spark of life and hope catches light
when Nell and Johnny find each other. This is a love story, and the
story of a people being torn apart. This is a powerful and
unforgettable novel from the phenomenally talented Sarah Crossan.
