The Famished Land: A Novel Of The Irish Potato Famine

by
Elizabeth Byrd

Set in Ireland during the terrible years of the great potato famine.

Moira McFlaherty and her family, like all the people of their village, lead a simple life, with dignity and much happiness. Moira dreams of the day she will marry Liam - the man she has loved since childhood. When their potatoes begin to rot in the fields, Moira's dream is swept away. Hunger stalks the land and death becomes a constant companion.

Moira, with an indomitable will to survive, sustains her family through the unspeakable horrors of the famine and, when all else is gone, her love for Liam remains. She clings tenaciously to the belief that a better day awaits them all....
