This remarkable first novel by M. Clement tells the story of an Irish-American family struggling through a tumultuous time in American history, and of the eternal clash between passion and obligation. Gracefully weaving the voices and viewpoints of the Malloys and their kin - especially the reckless, rebellious Mo and her clear-eyed sister Margie - The Irish Princess reveals the toll that tradition can take on a soul...yet paints a moving, memorable portrait of how the bonds we share with others can save us.
