Sheelagh Kelly's famous first novel is also the first volume of her
bestselling 'Feeney' saga. One fateful morning in August 1846,
Patrick Feeney surveyed his ruined potato crop -- and for the first
time knew despair. With a delicate wife and their unborn child, he
had no choice but to leave that wild and beautiful corner of
Ireland and set out for England in search of work. But from the
moment Patrick and Mary set foot in Liverpool, they are beset by
new trials. After tramping the long, weary miles to York, they are
forced to settle in the nightmarish slums of Walmgate, where
disease and death are rife. Yet the very poverty and hopelessness
of their surroundings bind the small community together in a
stubborn determination to survive through tragedy and win for
themselves a better life. Peopled with rich and colourful
characters, here is a marvellously fresh, unpredictable saga full
of passion, struggle and humour.
