Descriere magazin:
In a rousing tale that echoes the myths and legends of Ireland, young Honora Keeley and Michael
Kelly wed and start a family. So begins one Irish family\'s epic journey, in this novel that captures the tragedy and triumph of the Irish-American experience. In the bestselling tradition of Frank Delaney, Colleen McCullough, and Maeve Binchy comes a poignant historical family saga set against the Famine. In a hidden Ireland where fishermen and tenant farmers find solace in their ancient faith, songs, stories, and communal celebrations, young Honora Keeley and Michael
Kelly wed and start a family. Because they and their countrymen must sell both their catch and their crops to pay exorbitant rents, potatoes have become their only staple food. But when blight destroys the potatoes three times in four years, a callous government and uncaring landlords turn a natural disaster into The Great Starvation that will kill one million. Honora and Michael vow their children will live. The family joins two million other Irish refugees--victims saving themselves--in the emigration from Ireland. Danger and hardship await them in America. Honora, her unconventional sister Mv ire, and their seven sons help transform Chicago from a frontier town to the City of the Century. The boys go on to fight in the Civil War and enlist in the cause of Ireland\'s freedom. Spanning six generations and filled with joy, sadness, and heroism,
Galway Bay sheds brilliant light on the ancestors of today\'s forty-four million Irish Americans--and is a universal story you will never forget.
