About this listen
Eleven-year-old Slim Hannigan and her family left their home in Ireland to travel to America - in search of a better life. It has been so long and such a journey that Slim Hannigan and the rest of her family can't even imagine what home looks like anymore. And there are many, many miles across America for them to travel before they reach their destination.
Between them and the home of their uncle lie thousands of miles of dangerous land, wild animals and strangers who do not wish them well. Slim has to draw on bravery like she's never known to keep her family together and to keep them moving forward.

Poor Narration
While I enjoyed the story as a follow on from the previous book, A Slice of the Moon, I was frustrated that the narrator for this book did not do her research as to how Lisa Dwan narrated the the last book. One of the characters went from being a Liverpudlian to being given an Irish accent and the Hannigan family went from being from rural Ireland to sounding as though they were from Dublin. And it seemed that every American character that was introduced in the story, had a southern accent. That said Sandi Toksvig did a great job taking us on the journey with the family and all they encountered as they traversed the east coast to the West Coast of America. I do hope we find out, at some point, how the Hannigan family get along in Oregon.

Enlightening and heart warming
I really enjoyed the mixtures of ups and downs in t this second book following Slim and her family across the USA. As an inspiring cowboy Slim is a girl after my own heart and steps up to protect and support her friends and family including the native Americans

Exhaustion and determination of an Irish family
Really enjoyed this story, although at times , it seemed the narrator rushed and didnt pause for breath long enough over certain points, to allowing the listener to digest the information. It seemed very factual, and well written, and I am looking forward to the next book, as I need to know how it ends.

Very emotionally charged
A fine continuation of the story started in 'A Slice of the Moon', I am so drawn in to the story and have grown to be friends with this lovely Irish family. I really do find their troubles to be harrowing and I have found occasions when I have to push myself into continuing to read.
Sandi Toksvig has an amazing way of presenting a story, she has obviously researched this topic thoroughly, i.e. The Potato blight and the plight of the poor Irish workers.
Amazing story, beautifully told.
