4.0 out of 5 stars
Accurate desription of the time during the famine,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mary-Anne's Famine (The Bright Sparks, 13) (Paperback)
I thought this book was very sad hearing about the starvation and sickness in Ireland during the famine. Mary Anne is a very real character. It must have been awful seeing your best friends dying from hunger. I think it was so unfair that the government gave away the food to other countries when the people of Ireland were starving . The coffin ships were a way out but you had a big risk of dying on the ships of fever or the ship not making it to port. When Mary-Ann arrived in America she was surprised how there was so many rich people while there was people in the slums. I thought the wages back then for all the work that mary-anne did was little. When Mary-anne met Tim I thought it was very romantic{kind-of} well I thought she truly loved sean Thornton. At the ball it evidently showed that Sean felt the same . When he said 'I would rather to be escorting Mary-Anne. But I thought mary-Anne was happy with Tim in the end.
