Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Jamie

I really liked this book. This book gave me a better look at the way it is for someone with very little money and who just come to America during The Great Depression. It gave me a peek into how life is as a little kid who hardly understands whats happening. The author has a grand way of telling us about how racism isnt just in America or between countries it exists between the north and south of a single country. It showed how hard it can be to get a job, no matter how qualified you are; if you have a disliked northern accent in southern Ireland you wont be hired. It showed how hard it is as an oldest child having to take care of your younger siblings and how difficult it is to see three of them die in less than a year.
