This Piece Of Earth

Synopsis:
A woman in tatters lies prostrate in the dirt; a filthy man crouches over her. With a guttural howl, he grabs her in a half-nelson and hauls her standing. This is, we discover, an act of passionate love: the year is 1867, and the starving couple are trying to reach the north Irish coast to sail for America. Maevev is pregnant and exhausted, and her schoolteacher husband John uses what energy and wits he has left to coax her onwards.
- Karen Fricker, Guardian
