"Children of the Clearances" by David Ross follows the lives of two young siblings, Maire and Finn, as they navigate the harsh realities of 19th-century Ireland during the period of the Clearances. Forced to leave their family home due to economic hardship and societal upheaval, they embark on a journey filled with hardship, adventure, and resilience. As they face the challenges of poverty and displacement, they encounter a range of characters who influence their understanding of loyalty, community, and the quest for a better future. Ultimately, their bond and spirit guide them through adversity, marking their transition from childhood to maturity. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
