I read this book out of order. I read the sequel, Wild Geese, first. I thought it worked well to do it in this order. The story was good and there was lots of Irsh history n it

Greener Grass Caroline Pignat Books Reviews

Caroline Pignat does an amazing job of putting you into the young teen's mind and heart with this book. You fall i love with all the characters and can find your favorite quickly. My daughter and I both read the book and enjoyed every page, we can't wait for the next one!
Yes, the book is well researched and ably written. However, few of my students want to read it, and those who have started it, having read Pignat's earlier book--Egghead, have not stuck with it. The Irish cadence of the language feels forced and there is something about the book--can't quite place my finger on it--that does not ring true. Others have addressed the Irish famine and I don't feel this offering contributes markedly. I prefer Under the Hawthorn Tree.
This is a beautifully written heart-wrenching book. The book captures a time in history when thousands of Irish lived through the Great Hunger during the Potato Famine of the mid nineteenth century. Through the eyes of fifteen-year-old Kit Byrne we experience the suffering and losses of death and eviction of the people in her community. The story is a page-turner as we watch Kit grow from an innocent youth in love to a young woman that struggles with hatred and faces a moral dilemma over the theft of food and the murder of their landlord's middleman, Lynch. Although this book is intended for a younger audience, it can be appreciated by anyone wanting to experience a time long past.
I chose the novel because I wanted more knowledge of the Irish Potato famine. The book was very informative and entertaining. I would recommend it to those who teach either reading/literature or history. It make the fact come to life for students. In addition, I feel that any reader who likes historical fiction would enjoy this book. Give it a read.
I read this book out of order. I read the sequel, Wild Geese, first. I thought it worked well to do it in this order. The story was good and there was lots of Irsh history n it
