Description: Emigration had darkened the Irish landscape for almost one hundred and fifty years. This title includes interviews that highlight the heartache of leaving home; the struggles and successes of survival in a new land; the joy, and sometimes trauma, of returning.
Notes: "These are the stories of people who left Ireland as young men and women and, after many years in exile, closed the circle of emigration by coming home again."
