A rare occasion where the movie is as good as the book (in my opinion) ?

@Dana I really liked the book, but the movie was perhaps even better! I agree, a rare treasure.

Completely agree. Good book, great movie.

I really enjoyed Paradise Alley by Kevin Baker. It’s historical fiction, but it’s very rich in detail and accuracy. It’s about New York City during the Civil War, specifically the tensions between Irish immigrants and freed black slaves.

Thank you Maureen Anderson. I honestly didn’t know much about the Irish immigrants until I met a man who told me his grandma was working in the field after coming to the US. Just thinking when those people die their stories die with them. So I started digging in 😉

im fascinated by what their lives were like. My father recited Irish poetry that told some stories “no Irish need apply”. Must have been heartbreaking
