irish life,
By sara summers (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Farm by Lough Gur (Paperback)
although for many readers who are not from Ireland this story may seem quite primitive and even questionable in its content, for those of us Irish people it is like many stories told to us when we were younger by our grandparents. This real life story of a young country girl raised in rural Ireland in the decades after the great famine is one that will appeal to the hearts of young and old throughout the world.We follow Sissy through the highs and lows of life and learn what was really important to the people of nineteenth century Ireland. The ongoing trials of nationalism, Respectablity, religion and poverty are brought to life for us by Sissy and her family. A thoroughly enjoyable and enlightening book which I would recommend to anyone looking for light read; or anyone interested in what it really was to be Irish.

By Kathi Needham (United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Farm by Lough Gur (Paperback)
A loving family story about Catholic life on an Irish farm in the mid 1800's. This is the story of my family and Mary Carbery has done a splendid job of capturing the time and events and wrapping the lives of the O'Brien family around them. Educational and soothing easy reading.
