The famine hit especially hard in southern and western Ireland. On a trip there four years ago, my wife and I observed many “famine houses,” deserted stone homes that dotted the countryside. One time we arrived at a b&b in Doolin wondering why we hadn’t seen a famine house yet. Then I opened the curtains in the room. Right across the street from the b&b was a famine house.
Which is your favorite: O’Connor’s, McGann’s, or McDermott’s?
