This book is fiction, but is based on a true story. In 1846, a young couple met during the worst days of the Great Irish Famine. 'The Killing Snows' is a way to imagine what led to their meeting and what followed from it. In 1990, a box of very old documents was found on a small farm in the west of Ireland. They had been stored for well over a hundred years and told an incredible story of suffering, of love and of courage. The story of how one family survived. The story of two young people who defied their fate. The story of The Killing Snows.
I read the series and found them boring to be honest. They might be better liked by male readers as so much is about logging and working the quarries and just inclined to the masculine. Someone else might really like them.
