Publisher's Synopsis
The author traces the fortunes of the Finn family who farmed for centuries on a smallholding in Connaught, Ireland, until 1876 when, on the death of his wife, Paddy Finn decided to move to England and start a new life. This decision dramatically changed the fortunes of the family and ultimately transported them thousands of miles from their small homestead in Ireland.;The story moves from Manchester, where Paddy Finn unsuccessfully tries to run a public house, to Missouri and Buenos Aires where present-day descendants of Paddy Finn live a life far removed from that of their ancestors in Connaught.
