Title : How to Kill a Man - Carlo Gébler - book
Summary :
Ireland, 1854. The Great Famine is wreaking havoc. A secret society recruits among the starving farmers and practices murder, torture, and assassination under the pretext of driving out the English occupier. Greed is never far away. Political or religious discourse hides more private interests and creates a divide that will bloodily separate two communities that had once lived together. It is in this context that the steward Thomas French arrives with his family on the land of an English woman ruined by the poverty of her Irish tenant farmers. Very quickly, ordinary terror surrounds the newcomer, who is determined not to let himself be pushed around... Inspired by the memoirs of an administrator who was once condemned to death by his neighbors, How to Kill a Man is a dark, very dark novel with strong contemporary resonances.
