This review is from: The New Irish Americans (Paperback)
This book shows incredible insight into the new era of Irish emigrants. It is very well written by the author who obviously has first hand experience of this exciting new generation of Irish in America. These people are there under such different circumstances to some of our ancestors. A great book and I love the cover.
