(2) 4-6 In late 1846 during Ireland's Potato Famine, twelve-year-old Lorraine meets Susanna, daughter of Lorraine's tenant-farming family's English landlord. Together they devise a plan to help the farmers and cottagers survive. Napoli skillfully evokes Lorraine's close-knit community, interweaving Irish culture, history, and scenery for an accessible and appealing story. Lorraine's affection for her family and solidarity with her starving friends deepen the personal tragedy. Timeline. Bib., glos.
