A good local history is an excellent and agreeable thing. It pleases on two counts. It satisfies the curiosity of the inhabitants of a region, whether newcomers or old settlers, especially if no adequate history had existed before. It dispels myths, corrects old wives’ tales. And, if the history is first-rate, it goes beyond a factual account of persons and places, the particularities of a region, and shows the significance of these human happenings in a larger scheme of things, in this case the emergence of a new nation. Ellis’s history succeeds on both counts. It is a del

Told from the vantage of a young woman who grows to maturity in a New England mill town in the 1920s, this novel portrays three generations of an Irish immigrant family in their urge both to retain their identity and to become Americans. The central character, Mary O’Connor, is the product of a family and a town divided by the conflicting values of the “shanty" and "lace-curtain” Irish. Brilliant and painful on the themes of alcoholism and social class, the novel includes unforgettable portraits of the love between grandfather and granddaughter, mother and children, sister and brother.
