      About This Book

      ‘The long tale of terror and bravery . . . is told with the deftness of a professional storyteller' - Irish Press

      1826.       Millions in Ireland know only famine, oppression and degradation. The landlords have ground down the tenant farmers; tithe wars and injustice are rife.

      Dualta Duane battles against tyranny, struggling to survive the perils of hunger, poverty and disease. Courageous and fortified by an enduring love, Dualta's unconquerable spirit personifies the passion for freedom that rages in the soul of Ireland.

      The Silent People is the second beautifully told instalment of Walter Macken's acclaimed trilogy, which impressively imagines and portrays Irish history as it was across hundreds of years.

      ‘Poetic, but not sentimental – an engrossing and extremely well-written saga' - Kirkus Reviews
