Awesome story and I learned a lot about the famine in Ireland. Get the tissues ready!

Ellen O'Malley leaves Ireland for Australia during the great Famine. Th time when the so called Potato Blight struck.
Sadly she leaves three of her children behind, but slowly builds a life for herself and her family in the most inhospitable of countries at that time.
Great read!
I was given a digital copy of this book by the publisher Harper Collins via Netgalley in return for an honest unbiased review.

An interesting book; the many threads develop and come together as you get further in. I didn't connect with all of the characters, but the ones I did made up for those. The child barn was a huge surprise to me, and this part of the book, although it could have been stronger, was the best in my opinion.

Een van de weinige boeken over de grote hongersnood in Ierland. Mooie krachtige hoofdpersoon.
