The Star of the Sea by Joseph O'Connor
The Star of the Sea by Joseph O'Connor. Pub.Paperview/Irish Independent, 2005
# 2 in the Great Irish Writers collection.
In the bitter winter of 1847, from an Ireland torn by famine and injustice, the Star of the Sea sets sail for New York. On board are hundreds of fleeing refugees, some brimming with optimism, many more desperate. Among them are a maidservant with a devastating secret, bankrupt Lord Merridith and his wife and children, an aspiring novelist, and a maker of revolutionary ballads, all braving the Atlantic in search of a new home. Each is connected more deeply than they can possibly know. But a camouflaged killer is stalking the decks, hungry for the vengeance that will bring absolution. The twenty-six-day journey will see many lives end and others begin afresh.
