MY THOUGHTS:
This was an interesting book. I'm having a hard time finding the words to describe it without giving away a bunch of stuff, so this is going to be a rather brief review! I liked the main character, Clare, as well as some of the minor characters, but there were a decent amount of characters that I wasn't too fond of! The plot was intriguing though it did feel a but rushed at times. All in all it was a good read and I will probably read the second book when it comes out!

ABOUT THE BOOK
It’s 1846 in Ireland. When her family’s small farm is struck by famine, Clare Hanley and her younger brother, Seamus, set out across the ocean to the Promised Land of America. Five years prior, Clare’s older sister Margaret and her Uncle Tomas emigrated in similar fashion and were not to be heard from again. But Clare must face her fears as she lands in the coming-of-age city of New York. There she discovers love, adventure, tragedy, and a terrible secret which threatens to destroy her family and all she believes. Flight of the Earls is the first book in a historical novel trilogy based on Irish immigration in the 1840s.
