Description
A fascinating, though shocking, story about love and survival during a desperate time in Irish history.
This book is fiction.
The story that inspired it was not.
In 1990, a box of very old documents was found on a small farm in the west of Ireland. They had been stored for well over a hundred years and told an incredible story of suffering, of love and of courage.
In 1846, a young couple met during the worst days of the Great Irish Famine. The Killing Snows is a way to imagine what led to their meeting and what followed from it.
Powerful and compelling.
Sarah Hackett – The Irish Post
Famine novel likened to Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath.
Connaught Telegraph
A vital reminder of the fragility of life, love and survival.
