- Summary
- Set in the fictionally named Black Valley in the west of Ireland during the Great Famine of the 1840s, this novel tells the story of one village and the Kilmartin family when the famine was at its worst. The novel is critical of the constitutional politics of Daniel O'Connell, which are depicted as laying the oppressed Irish of the 19th century open to the famine that would destroy their society.
