Back to All Events
BRIDEEN: The Journeys of a Famine Daughter is an epic saga of the Irish diaspora published by AOS of Montreal. Noted Canadian author Kathleen McDonnell has come to Ireland to tell - and sing of - her ancestor's remarkable story of surviving the Great Famine, only to be swept up in other great upheavals of the 19th century: The industrial revolution in England, the Civil War in the U.S., and the settlement of the American Midwest.
Accompanying herself on Irish bouzouki, Kathleen sings the traditional ballads that fed Bridget Sweeney's spirit through her travels and tribulations - music that's included in the unique audiobook of BRIDEEN.
