Description
The Exile Breed is a historical fiction novel that explores the devastating impact of the Irish Famine on communities across Ireland, Canada, England, and the USA. In 1847, the Famine reached its peak, claiming thousands of lives in crowded ghettos, on ships crossing the Atlantic, and in the wilderness of Canada and the American cities.
As people struggled to survive, many more perished in the emigrant hospitals of Quebec and Montreal, and in the slums of New York and other cities. Yet, despite the unimaginable hardships, those who managed to escape the Famine went on to build new lives in the lands of the Irish Diaspora.
This powerful and poignant novel sheds light on a pivotal moment in history, revealing the human cost of one of the most significant events of the 19th century.
