Reviews
"Last of the Name is a rich, brave, brawling novel of the immigrant experience, bringing the cacophony of Civil War-era New York City vividly to life. Painstakingly researched, this story of holding on to family and heritage while making a new home in America is told with poetry, humor, and heart."--Susan Fletcher, author of Shadow Spinner, Walk Across the Sea, and Journey of the Pale Bear, "Civil War New York springs to life with danger, humor, and grit. You can feel the dance steps as a young immigrant's family traditions bring him strength and connection in a challenging new world. Historical fiction with a strong resonance today."--Emily Whitman, author of The Turning, "With loving attention to detail, Rosanne Parry recreates Civil War-era New York City and the struggles of intrepid Irish immigrants. More than a survival story, Last of the Name is a celebration of the power of music and family to sustain us through hard times. Truly a grand adventure!"--Deborah Hopkinson, author of How I Became a Spy: A Mystery of WWII London

Synopsis
Twelve-year-old Danny O'Carolan and his sister, Kathleen, arrive in New York City in 1863. Kathleen refuses to be parted from her only remaining relative, so she finds a job in domestic service for herself and her younger... sister . Danny reluctantly pretends to be a girl to avoid being sent to the children's workhouse or recruited as a drummer boy for the Union army. When he occasionally sneaks off to spend a few hours as a boy and share his rich talent for Irish dancing, he discovers the vast variety of New York's neighborhoods. But the Civil War draft is stoking tensions between the Irish and free black populations. With dangers escalating, how can Danny find a safe place to call home?, Twelve-year-old Danny O'Carolan and his sister, Kathleen, arrive in New York City in 1863, at the height of the Civil War. Kathleen finds a job in domestic service for herself and Danny, hoping to keep Danny from being drafted into the US Army as a drummer boy. As he explores the city and shares his talent for Irish dancing, Danny discovers the vast variety of New York's neighborhoods. With the threat of the draft pitting Irish immigrants against the free Black population, stoking tensions between the rich and the poor, and threatening the life Danny hopes to build, can he find a safe place to call home?

    Thank you for the jug Kristy. Arrived safe and sound and as described. Thanks for the explanation re the price. The $58.55 is the correct price in USD. The price of postage nowadays makes things difficult. The postage cost twice the price of the jug. Not that I mind, I've been after a Medium fat Boy for a long while. Happy to pay the costs.

    Well Packaged, fast shipping and items were exactly as described. Prompt communication by seller, I accidently entered the wrong address for shipping and she quickly canceled that order without hassle so I could reorder using the correct shipping address. Will absolutely use again!
