The Killing Snows : The Defining Novel of the Great Irish Famine (The Irish Famine Series) (3RD)

This book is fiction. The story that inspired it was not.  In 1990, a box of very old documents was found on a small farm in the west of Ireland. They had been stored for well over a hundred years and told an incredible story of suffering, of love and of courage.  In 1846, a young couple met during the worst days of the Great Irish Famine. The Killing Snows is a way to imagine what led to their meeting and what followed from it.
