"Mary Kelly's Post-Partum Document, one of this century's most significant and influential artistic statements on identity, represents the ultimate merging of feminism and minimalist performativity. . . . It is an extraordinary work that is viscerally experienced rather than statically received."--Maurice Berger, New School for Social Research
In a hidden Ireland where fishermen and tenant farmers find solace in their ancient faith, songs, stories, and communal celebrations, young Honora Keeley and Michael Kelly wed and start a family. Because they and their countrymen must sell both their catch and their crops to pay exorbitant rents, potatoes have become their only staple food. But when blight destroys the potatoes three times in four years, a callous government and uncaring landlords turn a natural disaster into The Great Starvation that will kill one million. Honora and Michael vow their children will live. The family joins two million other Irish refugees--victims saving themselves--in the emigration from Ireland. Danger and hardship await them in America. Honora, her unconventional sister Máire, and their seven sons help transform Chicago from a frontier town to the "City of the Century." The boys go on to fight in the Civil War and enlist in the cause of Ireland's freedom. Spanning six generations and filled with joy, sadness, and heroism, GALWAY BAY sheds brilliant light on the ancestors of today's forty-four million Irish Americans--and is a universal story you will never forget.

Of Irish Blood is a heartfelt story of Irish-American history from the acclaimed Irish-American author of the bestselling Galway Bay.
One wet Monday afternoon a body is found in a closed tank of liquid clay at Shentall's long-established pottery. Present at the irruption of this alien violence is Nicholson, a freelance detective engaged by Luke Shentall to investigate the leakage of new designs to foreign imitators. Nicholson reviews what has passed, from his arrival to the gathering tension of the hours before the crime, knowing that no scrap of behaviour may be dismissed as irrelevant. He gradually succumbs to the spirit of Shentall's, to the unique atmosphere of the blackened Midlands city, and to his feeling for the chief suspect, Corinna Wakefield, the firm's designer. In the investigation which follows Nicholson is driven, with a bitterly divided mind, to reveal what he knows will bring unhappiness to all involved.
