Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. History's Stone traces the causes of Ireland's Great Famine (An Gorta Mor) of 1845 -52 within the long progression of Britain's colonial relations with Ireland. The author examines why school said so little about it when she was growing up in Ireland in the 60s and explores two key questions: why the Famine became so horrendous even by the standards of the time andwhy Britain failed to fully acknowledge and make reparation for its part in it.Based on detailed factual research, it is written as narrative non-fiction to provide for an empathic imagining of the reality and people's suffering. It also uses a trilineal device to propel the narrative across centuries of progressive deterioration, and enable a slowing down as the country descends into the 'Hollow Land' of the Famine itself.Moving forward in time, it demonstrates the aftermath and what remains 'unfinished'.
