"An intelligently plotted and atmospheric historical novel, Under the Emerald Sky takes readers on a rollicking ride through a turbulent period in Irish history.

"Beneath the Darkening Clouds by Juliane Weber is second in her series about Ireland in the 19th century,
as the already poverty stricken Irish face the horrendous potato famine. The story as it unfolds is
entertaining, but learning more of the history of Ireland is enlightening as well.
A well deserved award winning story awaits the reader."
"A beautifully written novel. The historical facts are well researched, indicating the onset to a dark era
in Irish history. The tale of two people with high hopes to make a better life for the less fortunate as well as for themselves give the story an amorous touch - a passionate love story for the ages!"
"Under the Emerald Sky is a superbly structured novel that provides vivid impressions of the truly
remarkable situation in Ireland in the middle of the 19th century. With the inclusion of a romance that credibly bridges differences and casts the reader under its spell, an exciting story develops in the history
of Ireland, which immediately made me hope for the next novel."
