En la Irlanda de la década de 1840, devastada por la hambruna, tres hermanos, Eily, Michael y Peggy, se ven obligados a valerse por sí mismos tras una tragedia familiar. Hambrientos y en peligro de ser recluidos en el temido asilo, escapan con la esperanza de encontrar a sus tías abuelas, de quienes han oído hablar en las historias de su madre. Con gran valentía, emprenden un viaje que pondrá a prueba cada reserva de fuerza, amor y lealtad que poseen. Esta conmovedora historia de supervivencia y esperanza es un clásico para jóvenes lectores de todo el mundo.
