Hungry Hill
Daphne Du Maurier
About Victorian Ireland from the mid 19th Century until about
1920, a well written, good old tale of a land-owning family
through five generations. Lots about copper and tin mining. The
book illustrates well how little this wealthy family understand
the lot of the peasant tenants and workers, or their resentment
towards them. Quite a tragic yarn with lots of early deaths.
