A few chapters in and already hooked. I‘m anticipating the anger, grief, and trauma to come in this historical literary drama about colonization in Ireland and what carries forward in Canada. The writing is gorgeous and the author is extraordinarily skilled at drawing readers into the lives of the MCs.
Day 30: #West
Fergus' life in Ireland was fairly happy - until the potato blight struck. The search for a better life drives him first to England, and then westward to Canada and the US.
The best historical FIC makes me want to learn more, so this was a gateway drug to Irish history, especially this period when some of my ancestors followed the same path.
