In the early 1800s, the Irish Potato Famine caused a mass exodus of over a million people, many of whom ended up in America. The Irish were not the only ones to suffer from the famine; the British Isles were hit as well. The Writ of Execution is a document that was used by the British to force the Irish into work camps in the United Kingdom. The Irish were not allowed to leave the camps and were given very little food or water. Many died from the conditions or were forced to work in slave-like conditions. The Writ of Execution is a reminder of the terrible conditions that the Irish endured during the famine.; A Nina Reilly Novel; 8vo; 403 pages.
