Praise for

Flight of the Earls

Michael Reynolds’s debut novel Flight of the Earls, hauls you into an Irish family at the beginning of the potato famine. Sending their grown children to America might save them all. Clare lands in New York City to find another kind of famine, lack of morals, all encompassed by greed and corruption. Clare’s dogged fight to keep her family alive amidst overwhelming odds makes her a standout heroine. I heartily recommend Flight of the Earls and look forward to the next. Michael Reynolds is an author to look out for.

A soaring chronicle of immigrant America and beleaguered Ireland that will keep you reading late into the night.

My ancestors on my grandfather’s side immigrated from Ireland during the great potato famine. It’s something I knew but didn’t really understand until reading Flight of the Earls by Michael K. Reynolds. The questions, fears, and hopes of a generation come to life through this novel. I found my emotions wrapped up in the middle of it . . . a sign of good fiction!

From the Irish potato famine to the seedy streets of New York, Michael K. Reynolds takes the reader on a moving adventure. The writing sings, the story thrills, the characters are unapologetically realistic, and the message of hope and trust shines even in the grit. A novel not to be missed!
