{"product_id":"the-great-famine-in-tralee-bryan-macmahon-9781781178294","title":"The Great Famine in Tralee and North Kerry","description":"\u003cp\u003eBryan MacMahon focuses on human stories rather than statistics as he depicts the unprecedented events, upheavals and challenges of the famine years through the eyes of those who were there and reveals information which has lain hidden and untapped for 170 years. This book gives an account of incidents in Tralee and North Kerry. It gives a detailed overview and a moving insight into the suffering endured by thousands in the area. The contemporary accounts allow the reader to relive the shocking events, and to understand the stark dilemmas faced by those who were not themselves directly affected by hunger or disease. Here too are the names and inquest details of some of the dead, and poignant descriptions of life in the workhouses of Tralee and Listowel. Included are stories of scandals and possible sexual abuse in the workhouse but also many examples of selfless humanitarian work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bryan Macmahon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1781178291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781781178294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mercier Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.07d","brand":"Bryan Macmahon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47244512166143,"sku":"9781781178294","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3bb52321-aa42-4c13-9445-066f838d63bb.jpg?v=1758135919","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-great-famine-in-tralee-bryan-macmahon-9781781178294","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
