About
In Where the Heart Should Be , Irish author Sarah Crossan revisits the time of the Great Hunger in Ireland. The year is 1846 and Nell lives in Ireland where she works as a scullery maid for Lord Wicken. But at least Nell gets fed; the crops have failed and food is scarce.
Upstairs there is a boy, 17 and newly arrived from England. He is Lord Wicken’s nephew Johnny, and his heir. Johnny and Nell fall in love, but what does love mean?
This is Sarah Crossan’s first historical fiction novel, and it’s written in verse. It exemplifies her talent for asking big questions but allowing her readers to find their own answers – she is a big hit at book festivals!
