Star Of The Sea by Joseph O'Connor

4.0

Star of the Sea is a book I've had lying around for a few years. I wish I had read it sooner as it was a very good book. It tells the story of one fateful voyage from Ireland to New York in 1847. The majority of the ship's passengers are fleeing Ireland in hopes of a better life. The lives of three of the passengers are intertwined in unexpected ways. I had not read much about Ireland and the troubles they had. Joseph O'Connor manages to tell a good story even though it's heartbreaking in so many ways.
