Called to Account

From the author of "Strongbow's Wife" and "A Purgatory of Misery" comes another searing account of a terrible period in Irish history.

When a government official exposes the unpalatable truth about the famine in mid-nineteenth century West Clare he is called to account by the men he accuses.

Abandoned by his masters, he has only his strength of character and the love of his wife and daughter to sustain him as he fights famine and disease in a land teeming with destitute men, women and children.
