Our Fallen Woman

At five years old, Erin Kelly is left in the care of the church after her father flees debtors’ prison and her mother can no longer keep starvation at bay. From this beginning of poverty and abandonment, Erin learns early how fragile a life can be, and how fiercely it must be fought for.

From famine-scarred Ireland to the shadowed tenements of London, and the glittering promise of 1920s New York, Our Fallen Woman follows a cast of survivors driven by hunger for more than survival alone. Raised in a Dublin orphanage and forged by the streets of London, Erin grows into a woman navigating a society built to silence her. When she meets Paddy McCann, a charming hustler with ambitions as restless as her own, their lives collide in a complex bond of love, reliance and shared longing for escape.

Spanning continents and decades, Our Fallen Woman is a sweeping historical drama of resilience and desire; a story not only of one woman’s fight for agency, but of the men and women shaped by an era when survival demanded sacrifice, and reinvention came at a price.
