I could picture the houses they all lived in, and the fields when they were healthy and when they were dying. I felt as though I watched a movie instead of reading a book, because I could picture everything the book described, like Patrick’s Well, Patcheen and Anna. I liked the language of this story because the language was very engaging and descriptive. However, I did not like the plot of the story. I liked this book for its point of view, language and the characters. This historical fiction divulges what really happened during the potato famine in Ireland. I had mixed feelings about the book Nory Ryan’s Song by Patricia Reilly Griff. Eventually, the hope paid off and lasted her until she was able to be saved.
As mentioned earlier, Nory was a big help and attempted to spread hope where she could. The overall message to take away from this story is that even when times are difficult, never give up hope. Nory was scrambling for money to pay for rent, and her family was slowly starving as the food supply dwindled more and more.
While this is fiction, it covers a devastating time in history for the Irish, in which they went through a tragedy full of starvation and financial crisis. Another reason was for the tough concepts the book covered. After the long period of hope and suffering, she eventually learned her father was alive and received tickets to go to America. Nory remained hopeful throughout the story, in which she worked hard to keep her brother alive and powered through the starvation during the famine. I liked it for a couple reasons, one being the character of Nory.
