What would you sacrifice to survive hunger?
A striking work of Irish historical fiction, Our Fallen Woman draws readers into a world shaped by hunger, faith, and impossible choices.
Set against the harsh aftermath of Ireland's Great Hunger and the pull of emigration, this novel follows young Erin, a child born into poverty and heartbreak, whose life is altered by forces far beyond her control.
From the windswept shores of Galway to the unforgiving streets of Dublin, London, New York and beyond, her story unfolds alongside others caught in the machinery of empire, survival, and ambition. Lives intersect across class and continent, revealing a society marked by injustice, resilience, and quiet acts of sacrifice.
With elements of historical drama, romance, and crime woven through its pages, this is a deeply human tale of endurance and transformation. It explores what is lost when survival demands everything and what remains when faith, identity, and hope are tested to their limits.
Rich in atmosphere and emotional depth, Our Fallen Woman will appeal to readers of female-driven historical fiction who seek a story both intimate and sweeping, grounded in history yet alive with urgency.
Experience the power of survival and sacrifice.
