Famine (Used)

By Liam O'Flaherty. A novel set in a small village in western Ireland during the Great Famine of the mid-1840s, following three generations of the Kilmartin family in a cramped rented cottage as the potato blight destroys their food supply and they face starvation. The book portrays the famine not simply as natural disaster but as a tragedy compounded by the feudal landlord system and British colonial policy of the time.
