Beautifully written story about an Irish family at the time of the Great Hunger. A character-driven story that manages to tell the history of that period through the lives of the characters, who are unusual and completely engaging.

My favourite fantasy book

Not a fan of the author but this book is amazing

It was such an impactful book and it being based on a true story blew my mind!!

I loved this book for many many reasons. One of the main being the very complex yet relatable characters. The novel explores the intricacies of family relationships.

There's nothing I like better than finding a great book, unless it's finding an author who has written a series of great books. Frieda McFadden's "The Housemaid" kept me reading into the small hours. She builds suspense with the skill of an architect. She weaves small clues throughout so that the twist, when it comes, is credible and the reader is left open mouthed in a state of total belief. I can't wait to read The Housemaid's Secret. Who needs to sleep, anyway?....

The character development and story arch is written so perfectly! Such a page turner. Well worth a read.

I was hooked from the beginning. Character were created and developed perfectly. I didn’t think a book could take me on such a rollercoaster of emotions. Highly recommend if you’re into reading YA fantasy.

The world and the story are so good I just get lost in it

An amazing world built, nice story and characters 👌
