      A bit dry at times, but an absolutely stunning look into a dark time in Irish history. highly recommended for any history buffs, or any member of the Irish diaspora
    • 4/5
      The book wasn’t that long and I felt that the last few chapters dragged on repeating redundant information that didn’t add much to the story. Maybe this was done to increase the length of the book?
      Overall, the plight of the Irish Catholics was unknown to me. I now understand why a lot of African Americans have Irish lineage listed on those DNA tests.
