:- 3.0 out of 5 stars from amiga -- Not quite gripping : The Novel is an interesting take on a piece of British history which unfortunately occurred over an extensive time period. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Kindle Customer -- Wonderful Book : This book was awesome. It had you feeling so many emotions. I read it in two nights and can't wait for the next one! ( Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2021 )
- 4.0 out of 5 stars from L Jones -- The Management of Children : This is a sad story of how mistreated defenseless children were treated but this still happens now. Not only to children but too the elderly and handicap people that must rely on a care facility run by cruel and mean people. ! ( Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Tamara J. Hamelink -- Riveting! : This book drew me in and I could not put it down! The story was so tragic and yet so hopeful and love won in the end! ( Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2021 )

- 3.0 out of 5 stars from DomeHome -- Beyond the Crushing Waves : I was hoping to read more about the history of this time and disappointed that they didn’t do anything to expose what happened at these farm schools. ( Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Linda Smith -- Exciting and spellbinding. : This boom held me hostage. It was disturbing to know that children actually had to endure such hardships, but it was also mesmerizing. I love a happy ending, so this book was a winner all around . ( Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2021 )
- 1.0 out of 5 stars from Book Worm -- Slow, unlikeable characters : Very disappointing. I bought this as the topic of emigrant children interested me immensely. But this was so painfully slow and unengaging, I honestly thought it was a first time, self-published author. The characters are for the most part, unlikeable, and largely unbelievable, as were some of the circumstances. I cannot imagine anyone in 1950s UK contemplating eating rats, no matter how poor they were, unless they were literally living on the streets. Here, you have uneducated children of 7 and 9 years old using language and words such as 'apparently' (just one example}, and generally speaking in an adult manner. As for Mia, I would not have wanted her to be my GP. What qualified doctor doesn't undertand how the body changes during pregnancy, that breasts can become sore when milk comes in and how it can affect mood? She also did nothing but moan and whinge throughout. She goes on to say that she was the only one her Gammy (that word alone set my teeth on edge) trusted to leave alone in her house, yet she went on to rifle through her grandmother's possessions, blatantly snooping on her past. Really disliked this character. When the children had their photo taken at the Farm, the phorographer was wearing a top hat. A top hat! in the 1950s? The story premise had great potential, but was poorly researched, and seemed to be stuck in a time warp, as if the author had done her research on UK children's homes in Victorian times, but neglected then to update them to the 1950s, when part of the story was set. Oh, and I couldn't find any evidence of the Strathaird being used to transport children to the Colonies, let alone in luxury, but others may know differently. I struggled to finish this book, but I kept on hoping it would get better. Unbelievable, but not in a positive way. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 25, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Annette -- Poignant and thought provoking : I read this book while on a cruise, starting just after the ship had stopped to pick up the body of a dead migrant found floating in the Mediterranean. So reading a sad story that plotted the life of children sent away from their worlds, mistreated by the adults who were meant to caring for them was poignant. The book writes of hope, faith and positivity across the generations. I found it cathartic. As I read the story I looked up references to the facts in the book, shocking reading they make. Lovely story set in a family context. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 4, 2021 )
- 4.0 out of 5 stars from narelle bennett -- Beyond The Crushing Waves : It was an emotional history read. Very good description of how the children were treated. ( Reviewed in Australia on November 9, 2021 )
