Continuum

The "potato famine" of 1840s Ireland was itself a sad and devastating slice of history. Continuum deals with two desperate families who left Ireland hoping to find a better life in Manchester England where they have some family support in the Salford slum. These good people find their lives under constant attack due to faith differences and utter squaller. The industrial revolution of that time impacts every aspect of their daily existence.

 

They experience great kindness, but on many occasions it is extreme cruelty that mostly impacts their lives. This fiction is embedded in historical fact, hopefully giving you, the reader, an opportunity to mentally experience the triumphs and cruel tribulations that played out for so many people at the time.
