Galway Bay Book Reviews
Galway Bay by Mary Pat Kelly Book Summary
In the bestselling tradition of Frank Delaney, Colleen McCullough, and Maeve Binchy comes a poignant historical family saga set against the Famine.
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 Mv°ire, 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.

Galway Bay. This is a beautifully written novel that will stay with me forever. While the characters are fictional it is based on the reality many survived and still too many more Irish did not. The prevalent message is one of survival, determination and the power of love. Through her writing, the author had me smiling with the innocent joy, rooting for the heroine, laughing along, and crying over the losses, and beauty of the legacy two powerfully strong women created. In the complicated world we live within, we are reminded of the basics - what it takes to survive, the meaning of love, family and faith. This is timeless. Thank you Mary Pat Kelly
