The law of dreams is, keep moving.
For Fergus, moving is less of a choice than a necessity. It is 1846, the height of the Great Hunger, and Fergus is forced to grow up fast.
Following the destruction of his home, he is ejected from the land of his childhood, losing not only his family but everything he has ever loved. So begins an epic voyage that takes him from the west coast of Ireland to the docks and bordellos of Liverpool, and finally to the other side of the world.
During his searing passage from innocence to experience, Fergus meets bandit chiefs and railway navvies, "pearl boys" and daring girls, characters who in their startling freshness seem to have been delivered straight from the locked heart of a lost time.
And he finds bold and wilful Molly, who teaches him the ways of the world.
