The Blight and the Blarney

Whatever it takes to stop your family from starving.

The opening to The Tales of Flynn and Reilly – if you like historical fiction, then this is for you

Ireland has suffered from potato blight since 1845. Friends and neighbours have died, been evicted or given up what little land they have in search of alms. Michael Flynn is one of the lucky ones. His landlord has offered support.

Michael and his family have done all they can to help their immediate household, but as the famine and its aftermath continue, have their efforts been enough?
