A few mistakes here and there and I felt that the end was quite rushed compared to the buildup. However, it is a beautiful historical fiction tale of migration, work, love, and loss. I deeply felt for the protagonist, Henry, who, despite his tough start in life, pushed on until the end. It is a tale of hope despite tragedy and emotionally depicts the true stories of many Irish individuals who migrated to Northern America after the Irish famine. I definitely shed a few tears while reading this! Thank you, NetGalley.

A great historical novel that makes you really love Henry, the main character.. Recommend for all historical fiction readers.
