The Face of Time

Popularity 2
This book chronicles the slow and painful decline of Danny O'Neill's grandfather Tom and aunt Louise--whose deaths haunt the previous novel, A World I Never Made. Featuring the family's experience with emigration from Ireland, it brings the series full circle by evoking feelings of bewilderment, shame, and fear as the Irish O'Neills embark on a new life in Chicago in the late nineteenth century.
