To learn more about the Great Hunger, my top choices are The Great Hunger: Ireland 1845-1849 by Cecil Woodham-Smith, Paddy's Lament by Thomas Gallagher, and as an adjacent study that discusses the conditions that led to the Great Hunger, Land Is All That Matters by Myles Duggan.

History is always taught by relevance in your country of residence, so it's not at all surprising that it was glossed-over in America (especially when the history books like to erase prejudice and mistreatment, which, until the Irish themselves were accepted as white in the 20th century, they was prejudice against them and they were mistreated ... with the exception of Anglo-Irish families who became major landowners in the US), so I'm delighted that This House Will Feed has become a catalyst for further education. I hope the books help!(less)

“A Note from the Author

This book portrays one of the worst tragedies (and some argue, genocide) of the 19th Century—An Gorta Mór (The Great Hunger, known simply in America as the Irish Potato Famine). The population of Ireland halved as a result, from an estimated 9 million down to just 4.5 million.

As such, depictions of extreme starvation, desolation, death (including instances of child death), possession, use of slurs made by Anglo colonizers toward the native Irish, cannibalism, suicide, and murder appear on-page. This book includes epigraphs, most documenting eye-witness accounts (from Irish, British, and American observers) and should be read with caution.

As an Irish author, born and raised, the researching and writing of this book dredged up generational trauma that we as a people have not truly dealt with. Therefore I suggest any native Irish readers to approach with a steady heart, and the heady knowledge that our great-great grandparents were forged in steel, and you are the freedom and legacy they dreamt of.”
Maria Tureaud, This House Will Feed

“The hunger didn’t touch the Anglos. Why would it?”
Maria Tureaud, This House Will Feed

“It seemed alive somehow, its semicircular windows on the top floor serving as brows above large, rectangular eyes. A wide stone staircase swept from ground to entrance—a tongue rolled out in welcome to the hungry, double-doored maw on the first floor. Ready. Waiting to devour me whole.”
Maria Tureaud, This House Will Feed
