Narrado por: Virtual Voice

"A sweeping tale of survival, rebellion, and destiny—from the starving fields of Ireland to the halls of power in America and the battlefields of revolution."

Ireland, 1845—The Great Famine has begun. The O’Donaghue family, once proud tenant farmers, are torn apart as hunger, oppression, and betrayal drive them in different directions. Christopher, the eldest, escapes to New York, where he rises through the ranks of Tammany Hall, navigating the ruthless world of Irish-American politics. Seamus, consumed by the fight for Irish independence, becomes a revolutionary, orchestrating underground movements and violent uprisings against the British Crown. Rebecca, gifted with an extraordinary voice, journeys to Paris, capturing the heart of an emperor while entangling herself in the shifting tides of European power. And Ryan, sentenced to a penal colony in Australia, forges a new identity as an outlaw, determined to take back his freedom.

Spanning four continents and over forty years of war, famine, and rebellion, The Famine is an epic historical novel of family, loyalty, and the unrelenting struggle for justice. From the coffin ships of the Atlantic to the battlefields of the American Civil War, from the revolutionary streets of Paris to the Fenian dynamite plots in London, this is the untold story of Ireland’s fight for survival—and the sacrifices made for freedom.
