Caroline Pignat was born in Dublin but currently resides in Canada where she is a teacher and mentor to teenagers. This is her second teenage novel.
"Pignat's writing is strong and detailed, bringing to life
historical events in a personal and tangible way. . . For its good
writing, its keen perception of human emotions and its incredibly
accurate portrayal of An Gorta Mor (the Great Hunger), this is
definitely an addition to any 'must read' list of young adult
novels.
Highly Recommended."
-- CM Magazine"A remarkable work of historical fiction."
-- Canadian Children's Book News"The tension in the story and in
the well-developed characters is always rooted in daily detail, and
it builds to the final question."

-- The Brandon Sun"This well-researched book brings to life the
Irish famine of mid-nineteenth century. . . Historical fiction fans
will enjoy this book, and teachers and librarians may find its
ethical dilemmas highly teachable literature."
