Antaine,
You should really get your hand on Philip O’Leary’s “Prose Literature of the Gaelic Revival”. It’s practically a guide to the type of literature you want. There is an entire chapter on novels concerning rural life and poverty.
I’d also recommend “Mo scéal féin” by Peadar Ua Laoghaire. It’s the life of a priest who lived through the famine.
