Gracelin O'Malley Review
Brittany Lawler
Issue date: 1/19/10 Section: Scene
Last spring I came across a new author, Ann Moore, which has become one of my favorite novels. Ann Moore's novel, "Gracelin O'Malley," is the first of three novels, which tells the story of an Irish farming family, struggling to survive on the brink of the Irish famine.
Moore not only told a story about a heroine overcoming hardships, but also a story of a country fighting a war for independence. "Gracelin O'Malley" classic tale of an underdog,
When a character losses strength or motivation to keep fighting, I found myself wanting to help, they want to save the good and punish the evil; I wantrd to restore faith in humanity and they want to reunite family and friends that were lost along the way.
"Gracelin O'Malley" gives more to the reader then just romance or action. But gives suspense, intrigue and war. Moore did her research and created a realistic picture of the world 1800s were like for the families in Ireland.
The connection the reader builds with the characters, makes this novel worth exploring. Each time you read it, a new part jumps off the pages.
