Set in Connemara Ireland in 1901, history is recreated in this story of Liam, whose English father has long vanished and whose Irish mother has just died. Sent to live with an uncle who is a fierce patriot against England and who despises Liam for his English blood, Liam finds himself involved in no end of conflict, until a letter from America invites the family to leave conflict behind for a new world. Will they find their father in America - and can the two leave prejudices behind also? A BOY FROM IRELAND is an excellent, moving story of Irish history and social changes.
