Penguin USA. 07/01/1995. Reprint. This is the saga of an Irish family who face the hardships of famine, emigration, and political turmoil with an enduring spiritualist faith. In 1830's Ireland Mary is a young woman who's life is changed when a fairy sailor dies in her arms. Although she marries and moves her family to Ottawa to escape the famine, the fairy world never loosens its grip. Later in life she is called into the Canadian woods to die, abandoning her husband and two children. Her daughter Eileen carries on Mary's proclivity for impossible, otherworldly love, by falling for a fiery Irish patriot who is then caught up in an assassination plot. The whole tale is framed in the memories and legends as recalled by the 80-year-old Esther, Mary's great granddaughter. Originally published at $15.00 You save 90% off the cover price!

The Law of Dreams: A Novel
Random House Inc. 09/11/2007. 400 pgs. Fergus O'Brien, a young Irishman in 1847, experiences a Job-like litany of misfortunes caused by the infamous potato blight, the virulent mold that destroyed Ireland's primary food source. Fergus's woes include having his family burned to death, being sent to a disease-infested workhouse, and the pangs of constant hunger. Through it all he dreams of America, a place he knows almost nothing about. Peter Behrens writes with a brutal yet poetic style that renders the cruelties of the 19th century in a vivid and compelling light. Originally published at $13.95 You save 93% off the cover price!
