Commentary As Books Fields of Home (Children of the Famine #3)

Read by Caroline Lennon

Book: 4.5/5 stars
Narration: 5/5 stars

Fields of Home is the last book in the Under the Hawthorn Trilogy and the children from the original novel are now all grown up. Peggy is still making her way as a housemaid in America but is starting to think more about her long-term future, Michael is content in the ‘Big House’ working with the horses but soon a tragedy will tear his plans to pieces, and Eily is now a mother of two and worrying about raising rent prices and being able to keep a roof over her family’s heads and food on the table.

As usual, this was a really well-told book about points in Irish history that is so accessible to children but a really worthwhile read for adults as well. I loved the different world views in this book from each member of the family, as they are all in such different places in their lives but all struggling in one way or another.

I have a massive soft spot for Peggy, and I had forgotten what became of her as it’s been a very long time since I read this book but I loved being reminded of her happy ending, which is one of the best things about this trilogy - because it’s aimed at kids, the endings are normally wrapped up really well and happy.

I loved Michael with the horses and I did enjoy seeing the relationship the English landlord had with his staff, and that it was a good one. It’s good to show that not every landlord was a bad one, and some were decent to their tenants and staff but sometimes history and bad memories still ended up punishing them.

Eily’s was probably the story that was most focused on actual historic happenings, and I feel like her despair and panic were really portrayed well in this book about their rent being raised and getting evicted (I do think, for me, she became a bit hysterical at times and it annoyed me because she had been so strong in Under the Hawthorn Tree and I didn’t like seeing her so over the top).

I really enjoyed listening to these on audiobook and really recommend Caroline Lennon as a narrator as she did an excellent job.

Write-Up About Books Fields of Home (Children of the Famine #3)
The finale of the trilogy. It was an amazing time in my childhood and I cherish these books.Go read this series!

This book was so sad.. the whole series is so upsetting. I love this book but it was after the famine and Eily had to work so hard, it was SO SAD

This was the final book in the "Children of the Famine" trilogy, and what a delightful historical series it was. I have loved watching Eily, Michael and Peggy grow from hungry children to young adults struggling to make ends meet.At first I didn't think I would enjoy "Fields of Home" as much as the first two books as it jumped between Michael, Peggy and Mary Brigid, Eily's young daughter, but the dramas they all faced soon won me over. I did find Michael's story, by far, the most interesting as

Again, set after the Irish famine years when there was a huge struggle for land. Excellent children's literature. Last of the trilogy.

This is the final book in the 'Children of the Famine' series by Marita Conlon-McKenna. It is a heartfelt Irish historical novel which continues the story of Eily, Michael and Peggy who are now grown-up and struggling to make ends meet in the post-famine years. Peggy is still working as a kitchen maid in Boston, Michael is a young jockey and stable-hand who runs the stables of an English landlord and Eily, married with two children struggles to pay the rent on the small holding that her husband

The final book in the Children of the Famine trilogy shows the lives of the now adult O'Driscoll siblings. They all have their own hopes and fears for the future and it is a fitting ending to the trilogy.

به جرئت می تونم بگم که از بهترین کتابهایی بود که تا به حال خوندم.تصویرپردازی هاش فوق العاده قوی بودن و همه چیز کتاب کاملا ملموس و واقعی بود حتی برای فردی مثل من که نه با فرهنگ شخصیت ها آشنایی داره و نه با وضع زندگیشون.
