Description or summary of the audiobook: In May 1844, the American educator and reformer Asenath Nicholson set out from New York on a 15-month visit to Ireland to 'investigate the condition of the Irish poor'. On the eve of the Great Famine, Nicholson travelled on foot through the west and south-west of Ireland, reading the Bible to the local people and sharing their hospitality. Nicholson describes a rural society struggling with poverty and chronic unemployment who received their American visitor with generosity and kindness. Nicholson's account offers a glimpse of Ireland before the Great Hunger of 1845-52.
