In sunny Mullingar Library today, talking about the Irish Famine and the young girls who bravely volunteered to leave the workhouse and Ireland to sail off for a new life in Australia. Over 4000 girls made this trip between 1848 and 1850.

My review of In Between Worlds: The Journey of the Famine Girls by @nicolapierce.bsky.social : an amazing, descriptive book taking us back to 1849; stirring, awe-inspiring, richly told in expressive detail; perfectly unforgettable. Follow the link!
