Róisín Campbell was eighteen when she stepped from a boat in New York Harbor in the summer of 1870. She knew little of the world beyond what she saw in her small town in County Limerick and what she read in the novels she devoured when her chores were done. She knew no one in New York other than her cousin Jimmy Regan and Michael Henry, a dapper gay gentleman she met on board who would become her confidante and advisor.Róisín received training from the Sisters of Mercy andwas hired as a maid in the wealthy house of Charles and Abigail Geherty. Circumstances, including the unwarranted hatred of the oldest daughter, Mary, led to her dismissal from there and from a second fashionable house. Fate intervened, and Róisín found herself as a nurse at a clinic for the Irish poor, and a further bit of fate led her to meet a woman whose name she did not get and who vanished as suddenly as she appeared. Into her new world entered her youngest sister, Sophie, heavy with child, and she became Sophie’s guardian and protector.This is the story at the dawn of the Gilded Age of a young Irishwoman who comes to America with nothing but who finds love there. In the heart of a good woman, and in the soul of an innocent child.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fascinating Look at Early New York Irish Culture
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2021
Verified Purchase
Róisín Campbell is well researched, written in the style of the 1870s. The plot intertwines with the realities of the times, weaving characters together. Róisín is a beautiful, hard-working, and complex woman. So many of us in the US are descended from immigrant families, and this book helps us understand the sacrifice made by so many to build this country. I had many books on my To Be Read list but found myself returning to Róisín's life as one curious about a distant friend.

4.0 out of 5 stars An insight to the Irish Immigrant Experience in NYC
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2020
Garland knows his stuff--this is a very realistic and gripping fictional account of an Irish immigrant woman in NYC. Definitely recommend to anyone who is interested in the 19th century or likes historical fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great plotting!
Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2020

This book explores one of my many sides (my Irish 1/8th) with memorable characters and an interesting and in the end suspenseful plot. But it’s written from a woman’s viewpoint—my ancestor was a Union soldier—so this novel also opened my eyes to a lot.
