She and her husband put their estate at risk in their efforts to help their starving tenants to survive the four-year long famine, but much of this book simply describes what it was like to live in Ireland at the time, as described by an intelligent, independent-minded, down-to-earth Scotswoman who, though she lived in Wicklow for fifty five years, viewed Ireland with the fresh eyes of an outsider.
