Called to Account

From the author of "Strongbow's Wife" and "A purgatory of misery" comes another seering account of a terrible period in Irish history. When a government official exposes an 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 devotion of his wife and daughter to sustain him as he fights famine and disease in a land teeming with destitute men, women and children. Based on real events.
