| | Definition: | |  Mina
The author, Jonatha Ceely, claims to have found the core of this manuscript in the attic of an old house in Upstate New York. From this, she has constructed a tale of a young woman in 1848 who manages to survive the Irish Famine by cross-dressing and working in England as a stable-boy named Paddy. She makes friends with the chef at the estate, Mr. Searle, who is also there under false colors--he is actually an Italian Jew--and the two of them make plans to immigrate to America to start new lives. more details ... |
