Because They Never Do

Rating:
Summary: Very Visual!
Review: A visually stimulating story based on the true story of his ancestors who perished in the Famine. Having been to Strokestown and the Famine Museum, I was able to picture in my mind's eye how Strokestown would have looked and what went on during this darkest period in Irish history. I highly recommend it.

Summary: Steven Spielberg, take note
Review: One of the best stories yet about the plight of real people during the Irish holocaust. Forget "Gangs of New York." Monaghan is a master story-teller on a level with Margaret Mitchell, Hemmingway & Fitzgerald. A page-turner if ever there was one. Didn't want it to end.

Summary: A Beautiful Book
Review: This book is a beautifully descript story full of vivid imagery of Ireland and a transition to life in the United States. The true story, of the authors great-great grandparents has been passed around my family and greatly enjoyed. The passionate tale will be one you can not put down.
