Hardback. Etat : Very Good. An elegant and moving generational saga . . . Satisfying and emotionally rich.--People Both Ellen and Vincent left Ireland in the early part of this century, one bitterly escaping shame, humiliation, and fear; the other filled with hope for the promise and future of America--the other side.
