I’m a big fan of historical fiction, with one of my favorite locations and time periods being New York City during the mid 19th century, when thousands of Irish immigrants arrived, fleeing the famed potato famine. But the famine itself is a subject that’s not well-covered, so I was happy to receive The Crooked Branch, the second novel by the talented Jeanine Cummins, for review.
