DESCRIPTION:
Great Book Zepherine Drouhin I read this book years ago and came on Amazon to see if I could get a copy of it to read again. It's mostly a historical romance novel, in the vein of Gone With the Wind. I would not use it as a precise historical reference, although it has many historical facts in it. If you love historical romances and Ireland, you will love this book. Sterrin O'Carrol was one of my favorite heroines grow. Thoroughly enjoyable reading experience Ronald A. Audet I bought this book in Dublin a few years ago without having heard of it before. When I read it, I was completely enthralled. The characters are strongly delineated and they develop believably as the work progresses. The picture of the great wind and the potato famine is enlightening. Of course, it is not completely accurate historically--it is, after all, a novel, not a historical study of . The Big Wind by Beatrice Coogan Mr. David Slattery This is a book that I read several years ago, loaned to someone and didn't get it back. Therefore, I purchaced a new copy and I am half way through reading it again. I would consider it one of the best books that I have ever read and would highly reccommend it to anyone that likes a good historical novel. It abounds with romance and tragedy and is difficult to lay down once you get the drif
