The Hungry Road by Marita Conlon-McKenna is a heart-wrenching account of one of Ireland's darkest periods. In 1845, a devastating potato blight brought widespread suffering and despair to the Irish people. Against this backdrop of hardship and desperation, Mary Sullivan must summon every ounce of courage to protect her family. As the town of Skibbereen struggles to cope with the arrival of starving men, women, and children, Dr Dan Donovan and Fr John Fitzpatrick are faced with impossible choices. The true story of the Great Irish Famine is one of human resilience in the face of unimaginable tragedy. This powerful and poignant novel sheds light on a pivotal moment in Irish history, offering a deeply moving portrayal of a nation's struggle for survival.
