Book
The law of dreams : a novel / Peter Behrens.
"The Law of Dreams tells the story of a young man’s epic passage from innocence to experience during the Great Famine in Ireland in 1847. On his odyssey through Ireland and Britain, and across the Atlantic to “the Boston states,” Fergus is initiated to violence, sexual heat, and the glories and dangers of the industrial revolution. Along the way, he meets an unforgettable generation of boy soldiers, brigands, street toughs and charming, willful girls—all struggling for survival in the aftermath of natural catastrophe magnified by political callousness and brutal neglect.
