About This Book
In the winter of 1847, the ship Star of the Sea departs Ireland for New York, carrying refugees escaping the Great Famine. The narrative, structured through journals and reports, intertwines the lives of a bankrupt aristocrat, a maid with a secret, and a hidden killer seeking vengeance. It is a historical exploration of social injustice and the human drive for survival.
