This was a great follow up to the salt path.  I think the author did a great job of capturing the sadness and confusion that comes with change.  Even though Ray and Moth are in a better place financially and they are no longer homeless their is still grief and reminiscing of both their previous life and their homeless life.  Moth is a great counterbalance to Rays rose tinted glasses view of the salt path and their previous life.  I loved the respect and awe shown in this book for nature the writing lures you into their world of hardship and new discovery of nature in their farm and their new walk in Iceland.  But I do understand some of the other readers issues with book around the pace and the emotional tone, I think the audio book is the best way to experience this one.
