*THE #3 IRISH BESTSELLER*
Three generations. More than a century of famine, war, violence and love.
At sixteen Nancy, the only member of her family to survive the Great Famine,
leaves her small island for the mainland. Finding work in a grand house on the
edge of Cork City, she feels irrepressibly drawn to the charismatic gardener
Michael Egan, sparking a love affair that soon throws her into a fight for her

And in the early 1980s, Jer's youngest child Nellie is nearing the end of her

she imagines what lies in store for those who will survive her.
